more loan signings?
Albion are poised to complete the signing of Manchester City's Ivorian midfielder Abdul Razak on loan for the rest of the season.
And The Argus understands he will be joined at The Amex by Israeli team-mate Gai Assulin, an attacking midfielder/winger.
The double deal is in place now that the Premier League leaders have players back from the African Nations Cup and will be confirmed later today or
tomorrow.
Poyet said of 19-year-old Razak: "We were waiting. We were very close in the beginning of January. The African Cup didn't help us at all but I hope
that everything is going to go through and we can do it today.
"We were following him when he went on loan to Portsmouth. He has the type of characteristics of a midfielder I want to bring, the strength, the
power, thetechnical ability, box to box, so he has got plenty of things we don't have."
Assulin, 20, is an Israeli under 21 international who played for Barcelona before joining City

We will have plenty of midfielders, that's for sure.

You ae right there.
I hope it doesn't restrict the opportunity's for home grown Jake Forster-Caskey though. I think he is a real prospect.
