Albion have made Mali midfielder Ousmane Diakite their first signing of the summer.
The 23-year-old makes the move from Austrian top flight outfit TSV Hartberg, who finished an impressive fifth in the Austrian Bundesliga last term.
He made 31 appearances last term, scored two goals and was also sent off twice. He was out of contract this summer having helped his club secure European qualification to the Europa Conference League with a fifth-placed finish, after previous Bundesliga positions of 10th and 11th. Diakite stands at 6ft 2ins and is an athletic midfielder. He won the under-20s Africa Cup of Nations with Mali.
“He has experience abroad in Austria’s top league and has good physical attributes which will help him to adapt to the high demands of the Championship.”
