West Brom want Udinese striker Matej Vydra on season-long loan deal



Matej Vydra: Prolific for Watford in last season's Championship


West Brom are chasing a loan deal for Udinese's Matej Vydra, according to Sky sources.
The Czech Republic striker scored 20 goals in 27 Championship starts while on loan at Watford for the whole of last season.
And Albion have made a bid to bring him back to England on similar terms.
Vydra's goals helped Watford to the Championship play-off final last season and earned him the Championship Player of the Year title at the Football League Awards.
Gianfranco Zola said last month he had not given up hope of re-signing Vydra, but the 21-year-old has been linked with several Premier League clubs and Albion are the first to show their hand.
Steve Clarke has already brought in one striker this summer in Nicolas Anelka, but Romelu Lukaku is back at Chelsea following the end of his loan spell and Peter Odemwingie is a target for Al Nasr of Dubai.
Vydra would be keen to play in the Premier League during the coming campaign following his impressive last season at Vicarage Road.
Asked if he would like to be on his way to the English top flight before the transfer window closes, Vydra told isport.blesk.cz: "It would be my dream. I would like to play in that competition.
"I have not been thinking about specific clubs because there has not been anything. After the international friendly (on 14th August) I would like to move on finally."
Vydra admits a move this late in the window would be far from ideal, but he is reluctant to remain in Italy where he finds himself some way down the attacking pecking order.
He added: "I know it's not ideal because the leagues are starting this week or the next weekend. I would come in as a new player without having spent pre-season preparation with the team and that would make my position more difficult at the beginning.
"If someone does sign me, hopefully they would want me to play.
"Training here has been the same as it would have been somewhere else. In the next few days it should be resolved."

Baggies seal Vydra swoop


Czech striker joins on season-long loan from Udinese

ALBION have signed Udinese striker Matej Vydra on a season-long loan.

The Czech Republic international completed his move today after passing a medical and will wear the No.20 shirt.

The 21-year-old has now linked up with his country for Wednesday’s friendly with Hungary in Budapest and will return to train with his new team-mates for the first time ahead of Saturday’s Barclays Premier League opener against Southampton (ko 3pm).

Vydra shot to prominence on these shores last season during a year-long loan spell at Watford, where his 22 goals helped the Hornets reach the play-off final.

His impressive form saw him named the Championship Player of the Year and Watford’s Players’ Player of the Season, as well as figure in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.

Vydra scored his first international goals with a brace in a 3-0 win over Armenia in March’s World Cup qualifier.

Head coach Steve Clarke said: “I’m delighted to welcome Matej to the club.

“He had a really good year with Watford and we believe he’s got the qualities to score goals at a higher level. Hopefully, he’ll show that this year with us.

“We had Matej watched throughout last season. As well as some excellent scouting reports, we had some really good feedback from within Watford about Matej as both a player and person.

“I’ve said previously we’re a bit light in the forward areas and Matej will increase competition for places. He’s another good quality striker to add to the other three senior forwards we have here.”

After a playing at youth level for hometown club FC Chotebor, Vydra moved to Vysocina Jihlava where he started his senior career.

He joined fellow Czech outfit Banik Ostrava in January 2010 as a 17 year old, scoring four goals in 14 games in a six-month spell before moving to Italian Serie A side Udinese.

In August 2011, a loan move to Club Brugge was cut short by injury but the following summer he sealed a switch to Vicarage Road – and hasn’t looked back since.

On the international scene, Vydra has played at every level from Under-16s and currently has seven senior caps, having scored twice.

Vydra is Albion’s third new recruit following the arrivals of Nicolas Anelka and Diego Lugano. The club have also re-signed Goran Popov on a season-long loan from Dynamo Kiev.

Albion’s Sporting & Technical Director (Designate), Richard Garlick, said: “Matej is a player we watched consistently last season due to the level of his performances for Watford and the number of goals he scored.

“We faced a lot of competition for his signature and we’re delighted he has chosen us to make the step up to Barclays Premier League level.

“Matej feels he can be successful here and we believe he will bring a different dimension to our attacking options.

“He’s a clever player, is quick and can play anywhere across the front three positions, or in a slightly withdrawn role.”

In total, Vydra has made 58 career league appearances, including 20 as a substitute, scoring 24 goals.
