West Brom had a superb January window in the main, adding four players of high quality to enhance their promotion charge in the Championship.

The Baggies added all four from the top flight, with Mason Holgate being added earlier in the window, followed by deadline day additions of Stefan Johansen, Jefferson Montero, and Jacob Murphy.

The trio of deadline day signings especially caugh the eye, and West Brom's sporting and technical director Luke Dowling revealed his club fought off a host of heavy competition to land the new signings.

“We had to fight off some heavy competition. Even when word got out that Everton were willing to release Mason to get him more game time and develop him as a player, two Premier League teams and competition from in and around us in the top half of the Championship wanted him. And to be fair there was more financial gain for Mason in some offers." Dowling told the club's official website.

West Brom are sitting nicely in the play-off spots in the second tier at the moment and look primed to make a run at the automatic promotion places, and Dowling was suitably delighted with the business he had managed to conduct in January - his first window in charge of affairs at the Hawthorns.

“As a club, we’re delighted with the business we’ve done,” he added.

"They know they are coming in to join a group of very good players.”  Dowling went on to add further, in a move to somewhat praise the current playing squad under Darren Moore. The Verdict Dowling has every right to be delighted with his business, with all four players the Baggies brought in bringing something different to the table. All four have top flight experience and they all fit into how Darren Moore plays. I'd be majorly surprised to not see West Brom in and around the top two following a huge January.
