Albion are delighted to confirm the permanent signing of Callum Styles from Barnsley for an undisclosed fee.

The versatile Hungary international – Albion’s ninth arrival of the summer transfer window – has signed a four-year contract at The Hawthorns.

The left-footed 24-year-old, who has 23 caps for his country, adds further competition for places in a range of positions.

Styles said: “This is a big club and it should be in the Premier League. The ambition for everyone is to get back there. I couldn’t turn an opportunity like this down.

“I think some of my best attributes are being good on the ball, driving forward with the ball and trying to make things happen for my team. I’ve got good energy and I think my positional awareness and understanding of the game will help the team a lot.

“I can play in a couple of positions and you might see me playing out on the left side as an attacking wing-back as well as in the middle of the pitch, which is where I’ve played all my life. I’d like to put my case across in any of those positions and hopefully start as many games as possible.

“I really want to be successful here, both as an individual and as part of the team.”

Bilkul Football Group CEO and Sporting Director, Andrew Nestor, added: “We are pleased to welcome Callum to the Albion.

“His playing attributes fit our squad profile and the way we want to play. He also provides positional versatility.

“At 24 he has substantial experience at this level having played over 100 games in the Championship, as well as on the international stage in major competition.”
