West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Bruce has admitted that the club will need to assess Okay Yokuslu's fitness ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
As confirmed by the Baggies' official website earlier this week, the midfielder has signed a three-year deal which will keep at the club until 2025.
Yokuslu was on the lookout for a new club following Celta Vigo's decision to release him and will now be keen to establish himself as a key player for West Brom after sealing a move to the Championship side.
Certainly no stranger to life at The Hawthorns, the midfielder previously featured for West Brom during their most recent spell in the Premier League.
The midfielder made 16 appearances for the Baggies at this level as they suffered relegation to the second-tier in 2021.
After failing to secure an immediate return to the top-flight last season, West Brom will be aiming to challenge for automatic promotion in the new term.
Ahead of their upcoming Championship clash with Middlesbrough, Bruce has revealed that the club will need to assess where Yokuslu is at regarding his fitness levels.
Speaking to the Express & Star, the West Brom boss said: "It’s an exciting signing for us because he played very well when he was here before.
