South Korean international Kim Do-heon looks set to sign for West Bromwich Albion.

The 25-year-old is hoping to make his move to the Hawthorns permanent after joining the Baggies on loan in January from Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma.

Despite only making a handful of appearances for the Championship winners, Kim is regarded highly by boss Tony Mowbray and talks between the two parties appear to be moving in the right direction.

Kim's agent Jung Jae-hoon revealed West Brom had offered a permanent contract to the midfielder.

"I was informed last week that West Brom are ready to offer a new contract to Kim," he told Yonhap News.

"I cannot disclose the details but a formal offer will be made this week."
