West Bromwich Albion have completed the signing of midfielder Rabby Nzingoula from Ligue 1 side Strasbourg for an undisclosed fee.

The 20-year-old has agreed a three-year contract and becomes the club's seventh signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Matt Ingram, Conor Townsend, Nolan Galves, Felix Horn Myhre, Barney Stewart and Jimmy-Jay Morgan.

Nzingoula made 15 first-team appearances for Strasbourg, including in the Europa Conference League, and has also had loan spells with Montpellier and German side Nuremberg.

"From the games I have seen, it's clear to see it's a very good, physical and demanding division," Nzingoula told the West Brom website., external

"It's a really good league and a really tough one too. It has a lot of high intensity, and I think that fits perfectly with my style of play.

"There are a lot of players with talent here at the club and the head coach (James Morrison) has so much playing experience. I know that he played over 300 games here and I know he was a very good midfielder, so I really believe he can help me and develop me into a much better player."
