West Brom boss Irvine welcomes new signing Silvestre Varela

West Bromwich Albion have signed Porto winger Silvestre Varela.

The Portugal international has joined on a season-long deal to become Albion's 10th new recruit of the transfer window.

Baggies head coach Alan Irvine said: "Silvestre is a vastly-experienced player, both with Porto and his national team, and I'm delighted we've managed to secure his services.

"He's got pace and power, gets his fair share of goals and is also a creator of chances for others.

"He's a fantastic addition to our squad."
