West Brom have announced the signing of Jake Livermore from Hull City.
The 27-year-old midfielder has agreed a four-and-a-half year deal to move to The Hawthorns in a deal believed to be in the region of £10million to become Tony Pulis' first signing of the January transfer window.
Having made 58 appearances for Tottenham, Livermore joined Hull on loan in 2013 before making the switch permanently after the Tigers' FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.
"In Jake we have brought in a very, very good player," Pulis told the club's official website.
"I watched him a lot when he was at Tottenham and thought he would go on to establish himself as a top-six player.
"Maybe he has just drifted away a little from that – although having said that two promotions and a cup final with Hull should not be forgotten. But I believe this lad is a very, very good player and I'm delighted we've got him.
"He is a fantastic character and as a player is good enough on the ball but also possesses fantastic energy. He's a good age at 27 and I believe his next three or four years will be his best."
