West Bromwich Albion are confident of closing a deal for Rosenborg fullback Cristian Gamboa.
The Express & Star says Albion insist the 24-year-old is still on course to be confirmed as a Baggies player despite a frustrating delay over his work permit.
The Rosenborg defender passed a medical last week and agreed personal terms but a hold-up with paperwork has prevented the Baggies confirming his signing so far, although they do not envisage any problems.
