West Brom have hired former Chelsea chief Ron Gourlay as a transfer consultant.
The Daily Mail says former Chelsea and Reading chief executive Gourlay is working with West Brom as a consultant on a wide range of areas, including transfers, following the sudden departure of Luke Dowling as sporting director.
Dowling was sacked last month after three years at the Hawthorns as the club's Chinese owners reassess their football operations.
They have turned to experienced operator Gourlay to help them during the summer transfer window, when a lot of players are expected to come and go following Albion's relegation from the top flight.
