West Brom boss Slaven Bilic is reportedly furious with the club after Ahmed Hegazi was sold without his go-ahead.
The defender, 29, has joined Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ittihad for a fee of £4million - and it has since been suggested the transfer was sanctioned at boardroom level behind Bilic's back.
The Sun claim that Bilic has been undermined by Hegazi's shock exit, a situation made worse following the poor start to the season.
