Charlton's Zhi heading to Baggies as Pardew is forced to sell again
13 April 2012
West Bromwich are closing in on a £2m deal for Charlton’s Chinese midfielder Zheng Zhi just 24 hours after missing out on his team-mate Madjid Bougherra.
Charlton manager Alan Pardew has admitted he was forced to sell defender Bougherra to Rangers for £3m to balance the books.
Pardew says others may follow Bougherra out of The Valley.
He said: ‘The agenda here has changed. It’s very frustrating because when I took over the club at Christmas almost 18 months ago the financial situation wasn’t quite what was sold to me.’
