​DONE DEAL: West Brom winger Leko joins Bristol City on loan

Young winger Jonathan Leko has joined Bristol City on loan from West Bromwich Albion.

Leko is a talented youngster who broke into the West Brom first team last season and the Baggies have now sent the 18-year-old out on loan to the Championship side for him to earn regular minutes on the pitch.

Following the completion of the move, West Brom boss Pulis said: "We need to get Jonathon out playing League football and at Championship level this is a great opportunity for him.

Robins boss Lee Johnson said of Leko: "We are always on the lookout for quality and Jonathan has that. He also brings genuine pace and versatility in the forward areas.

"Thanks to Tony Pulis and West Brom for allowing the deal to happen. It's now up to Jonathan to work hard for the team and express his talent in a City shirt."
