West Bromwich Albion sporting director Dan Ashworth insists new head coach Roy Hodgson will have the final say on any potential signings. Hodgson will be working closely with Ashworth to identify potential targets for when the transfer window reopens this summer.
But the former Liverpool boss will have the ultimate say on who is brought into the Hawthorns.
Ashworth confirmed: "My job is to line up players, in conjunction with Roy, helping with transfer fees, wages, and maybe doing a bit of groundwork.
"But ultimately there is no point in bringing in a player Roy doesn't like because he won't play.
"Roy has the ultimate say."
