West Bromwich Albion have signed winger Kareem Tunde from Spanish club Levante UD. The 21-year-old put pen to paper on a four-year contract this Thursday, as reported by West Bromwich Albion's official outlet, adding fresh attacking options to a squad sitting second in the Championship with six points from two wins.
What does Kareem Tunde bring to West Brom?
Kareem Tunde arrives with experience from Spain's top flight, having made 22 appearances for Levante in the 2025/26 La Liga season. The player describes his own style clearly. "I am a player who has a lot of power and pace," Tunde said. "I’m explosive, direct and I have quick feet." His primary aim is to contribute directly to the scoreline, focusing on both scoring and creating goals for his new teammates. This move marks a significant step, as Tunde has spent his entire professional career in Spain until now.
How did the transfer come together?
The deal progressed swiftly after the club registered its interest. Kareem Tunde was in attendance at St. James' Park on Wednesday night to watch his new teammates face Premier League side Newcastle United in a cup fixture. That visit allowed him to meet with the manager and get an early feel for the group. "As soon as I heard the club were interested in signing me I was very excited and very interested," Tunde explained. The manager has expressed his happiness at securing the signing and has encouraged the new arrival to play with confidence and express his natural game on the pitch.
What is the immediate context at the club?
Tunde joins a West Brom side in strong early-season form. The Baggies are currently second in the Championship table, having taken maximum points from their opening two matches. Their record shows five goals scored and just two conceded, giving them a healthy +3 goal difference. You can track the team's progress on the standings page. The next challenge comes quickly, with an away trip to face Middlesbrough, who are 11th, scheduled for August 29th. Fans can find details of that and all upcoming matches on the club's fixtures list.
Where does Tunde fit into the squad?
The young winger has already been impressed by the positive environment within the squad. He aims to grow both as a player and as a person during his time at The Hawthorns. Adapting to English football will be a key task, as Tunde acknowledges the league's more direct, physical, and quicker pace compared to La Liga. His addition provides the manager with another option in wide areas as the club looks to maintain its promising start.
