Filip Krovinoviu0107 described linking up with fellow Croatian Slaven Biliu0107 as a “proud” moment after becoming Albion’s first summer signing.
The 23-year-old, who has joined the club on a season-long loan from Portuguese giants Benfica, will have the opportunity to work under the Baggies Head Coach for the first time during the 2019/20 campaign.
Krovinoviu0107 has a tremendous amount of respect for his fellow compatriot having watched Biliu0107 guide Croatia to two consecutive European Championships and, in the process, help develop some of the nation’s most promising youngsters into the game’s top players.
And the versatile midfielder believes the Croatian connection can help him “conquer” the challenge of testing himself in English football.
