Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba has completed a loan move to West Brom from Aston Villa until the end of the season on Monday.
The 19-year-old will hope for regular first-team football at The Hawthorns as he returns to the Baggies before the 7pm deadline on 2 February.
Jimoh-Aloba was the hero against RB Salzburg in the Europa League on 29 January, scoring an 87th-minute winner in the 3-2 win.
Morgan Rogers has taken a liking to the 19-year-old at Villa Park and has reacted to his temporary departure from the B6 club.

West Brom have announced the signing of Jimoh-Aloba from Villa on Instagram.
The young attacker made his way through the youth ranks at the Albion before moving to the Villans.
Rogers liked the post by the Baggies on social media as they confirmed the Englishman’s return on loan.
The likes of Keilan Quinn and Mo Faal, who used to play for West Brom, have also reacted to it.
Jimoh-Aloba only made three appearances for the Lions this season, playing 42 minutes across all competitions.
Villa have recalled Samuel Iling-Junior from West Brom, with the 22-year-old forward set to join Pisa on loan instead until the end of the season.
Emery will hope both players receive regular game time at their respective clubs and continue to develop until the summer, when their futures will likely be reassessed.
Will Aston Villa sign any players to replace outgoings?
Emery claimed that Villa probably won’t make any new signings after the 1-0 loss to Brentford, but it remains to be seen whether that will change in the coming hours.
Speaking post-match, the Spanish manager said, “We don’t have a lot of possibilities to do something to improve now. We did everything we planned. It is completely done the transfer window for us.”

The Villans have signed Tammy Abraham on loan to bolster their attacking options, with Douglas Luiz’s homecoming also undoubtedly exciting for fans.
Leon Bailey has also returned from his loan spell at AS Roma, and only time will tell whether he has a role to play in B6 until the end of the season at Villa Park.
Alysson is another player who will surely excite a lot of supporters, with Emery pushing for Champions League qualification.
