Transfer news: Cristian Gamboa to be unveiled as West Brom's latest signing



Costa Rica international Cristian Gamboa is expected to complete his move to West Brom in the next few hours, Sky sources understand.

The Rosenborg right-back is thought to have completed a medical ahead of a £1.8million move to the Hawthorns and will be unveiled as West Brom’s latest signing.

Gamboa attracted the interest of Premier League clubs after helping Costa Rica reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup,

qualifying as winners from Group D ahead of Uruguay as England and Italy suffered elimination.

Hull City were also linked with the 24-year-old, but Albion look to have managed to land another defensive recruit this week.

Liverpool full-back Andre Wisdom has already joined on a season-long loan and flew out to the club’s pre-season training camp in Sacramento, California.

New manager Alan Irvine has been busy in the transfer market also bringing in Joleon Lescott, Chris Baird, Craig Gardner and club record signing Brown Ideye.

ALBION are processing a work permit application for Cristian Gamboa


after agreeing a deal with Norwegian club Rosenborg to sign the Costa Rica international for an undisclosed fee.

The Baggies have also agreed personal terms with the right-sided player, who has passed a medical.

Gamboa started all five of Costa Rica’s World Cup matches in Brazil as Los Ticos won Group D and reached the quarter-finals.

However, the 24-year-old has not played the requisite number of international games over the past two years to get his work permit automatically endorsed by The FA.

The matter is set to go before an FA appeal panel on a yet-to-be-confirmed date.

Irvine hopeful on Gamboa after scrutinising figures

ALAN Irvine remains hopeful Rosenborg’s Cristian Gamboa will soon become an Albion player.

The matter of the Costa Rica international’s work permit application is expected to go before an FA appeal panel this week.

And the Baggies boss admits he would be surprised if the hearing does not go in the club’s favour after scrutinising Gamboa’s international statistics.

“We're not in control, it’s out of our hands, but I think it would be amazing if we didn't get this one over the line,” said Irvine on the right-sided player,

who has agreed personal terms with Albion and has passed a medical.

“Cristian has played just over 70 per cent of the games for his country, but they’ve factored into those figures a non-Fifa ranked tournament which his club stopped him going to.

They kept Cristian back to play in some league games.”
