MONACO SIGNS IN NACER CHADLI FROM WEST BROM
AS Monaco have brought in Belgium forward Nacer Chadli on a
three-year contract from English second-tier side West Bromwich Albion for an
undisclosed fee, the clubs announced on Thursday.
West
Brom, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, said the deal was
concluded after the Ligue 1 side made an improved offer for Chadli late on
Wednesday.
British
media said Monaco paid a fee of
10 million pounds ($13.01 million) for the
29-year-old attacking midfielder.
"I
am very happy to join AS Monaco, a great French club that participates in the
Champions League," Chadli was quoted as saying on the French principality
club's official website
http://www.asmonaco.com/en/article/nacer-chadli-to-as-monaco-12405.html.
"The
results of the last seasons prove the quality of the project and the ambition
of the club. I will do everything to help AS Monaco achieve great things and
achieve its goals."
Monaco,
who finished second in Ligue 1 last season, were on Thursday drawn to play
Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Club Bruges in Champions League Group A.
"We
are delighted to welcome Nacer Chadli, an offensive midfielder who has
demonstrated his quality. His experience at the highest level and his technical
profile will be additional assets for the team," said Monaco CEO Vadim
Vasilyev.
Chadli
captured the headlines at this year's World Cup in Russia when he scored a
stoppage-time goal for Belgium in a 3-2 win over Japan in the last 16 and they
went on to finish third.
He
started out at Dutch second division club AGOVV Apeldoorn before joining FC
Twente where he scored 25 goals in 84 league games and earned a move to
Tottenham Hotspur in 2013.
Chadli
went to West Brom three years later and made 32 appearances in his first
campaign but was then restricted by injury and featured in just five during the
2017/18 season.
