The towering 21-year-old centre back was so consistent with his performances at The Hawthorns that then West Brom manager, Darren Moore was full of praise  for him saying, “The boy (Adarabioyo) has a desire and a thirst for the game.

“He’s shown versatility, adaptability and an understanding of the game. He’s got a determination to go to the very highest level.

“We’re pleased to have him here and to be part of his development. He’s doing really well.”

The deal about the loan move is finalised and the Ewood Park landlords are expected to make the announcement shortly.
