Timm Klose reveals failed West Bromwich Albion move

Norwich City defender Timm Klose claims that West Bromwich Albion tried to sign him in the summer transfer window.

Norwich City defender Timm Klose has claimed that West Bromwich Albion wanted to sign him in the summer, but their interest was rejected by the Canaries.

Klose, 28, only joined Norwich from Wolfsburg on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January, but was linked with a move away in the summer after Alex Neil's team were relegated to the Championship.

According to the Switzerland international, Norwich turned down an offer from West Brom before the transfer window closed, but he was happy to remain at Carrow Road.

"There were offers, and we looked at the one we received from West Bromwich, but Norwich turned down the offer," he told Neue Zurcher Zeitung.

"I weighed up my options. I did not want to lose my place in the national team without a fight, but it was also clear that it will be difficult to show what I could do at another club.

"The overall package fits. I can live out my passion here. I play football out of passion. I don't primarily earn my living for the family because my background forces me to do so. I am on the pitch mainly for the emotions."

Klose scored once in nine appearances for Norwich in the second half of last season.
