West Brom have won the race to sign Liverpool
goalkeeper Scott Carson for an initial fee of £3.25million, rising
to £4million.
The Baggies have beaten off interest from the likes of
Stoke, Blackburn and Aston Villa to sign the England
international.
Liverpool decided to let Carson leave after bringing in
Brazilian Diego Cavaleri as cover for Jose Reina.
Stoke agreed a £3.5million fee with the Reds earlier this week
and held talks with Carson only to pull out of the move on
Thursday.
West Brom also negotiated a deal with the Merseyside club and
the former Leeds player has agreed a four-year deal at The
Hawthorns.
His agent Colin Gordon has confirmed the deal has been done to
bring Carson to West Brom.
"The deal has been done," Gordon told Sky Sports.
"Scott has signed a four-year deal with West Brom.
"They will pay £3.25million which will rise to £4million for
Scott."
