Kim, who has been capped by South Korea over 30 times, had already been at the Hawthorns on loan from Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma since January.

The 25-year-old midfielder made just seven appearances, only one of them from the start, and he scored his first goal for the Baggies in the 2-0 win at QPR on the final day of the season.

Going the other way out of the Albion exit door is 16-year-old James Hurst, who will join Portsmouth, with West Brom due to receive an as yet undisclosed compensatory fee for the England youth international.

Portsmouth academy coach Ian Woan said: "He is a promising right-back who our recruitment officer Alan Miller chased rigorously.

"He's got a lot of work to do but he can handle a football, he's quick and he's intelligent.

"We're all looking forward to with working with him."
