DONE DEAL: West Brom land Man Utd keeper Lindegaard

West Bromwich Albion have signed Anders Lindegaard from Manchester United.


The 31-year-old Danish goalkeeper has signed a two-year deal with Albion after passing a medical on Monday.

Lindegaard arrives at The Hawthorns after making 29 appearances for the Red Devils who he joined from Norwegian club Aalesunds FK in 2010.

"Since moving to England I've been impressed with how well West Brom have done in the Premier League," he told his new club's official website.

"I had a good chat with Tony Pulis - I must call him the 'gaffer' now - and he convinced me it would be a good move for me and the club.

"From there things moved very quickly. I was very keen to get it done so I can just concentrate on the thing that matters most, the football.

"I am very happy to join and hope I can make a big contribution this season."

Lindegaard will compete with Boaz Myhill for a starting spot at Albion as Ben Foster prepares to return from injury later in the year.
