London - West Bromwich Albion signed defensive midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu, on loan from Paris St Germain, on Monday.

The 22-year-old, an international for Democratic Republic of Congo, becomes West Brom's third signing of the transfer window after Jay Simpson and Marc-Antoine Fortune, who have also joined on loan.

On the club's website, manager Tony Mowbray described him as a "young player with potential ... who won't instantly impact on our first team." (dpa)
