West Brom manager Slaven Bilic has confirmed that the club are on the verge of signing former Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic, with the Baggies boss hopeful of getting a deal over the line in “a matter of hours”.
The Serbia international left Stamford Bridge in 2017, swapping west London for Russia where he played three seasons with Zenit Saint Petersburg.
Now 36 years of age, Serbia's most capped player of all time is set for a return to the Premier League with Bilic's newly promoted outfit, and the Croatian boss is over the moon to be adding such an experienced player to his ranks.
