Bilic urging West Brom board to buy on deadline day

Slaven Bilic has implored West Bromwich Albion to make additions to his squad by deadline day.

The Baggies are looking at bringing in a striker and fullback before Monday's deadline, although they have until October 16 to sign players from the Premier League and Football League.

Asked about additions following the 2-0 defeat at Southampton, Bilic replied: "It is something that we need to do.

"We need to boost the quality of our squad and I expect that to happen.

"Nothing has changed following the Southampton game.

"We have until Monday night to do Premier League ones but then we have a little bit more time to bring in players from the EFL.

"My message has been the same after Leicester, after Everton after Chelsea. It doesn't change after Southampton.

"We need, need, need and I'm expecting that to happen."
