West Bromwich Albion midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak has started Tony Pulis’ side’s last two fixtures.

Tony Pulis has told the Daily Mail that Grzegorz Krychowiak is still not at his best for West Bromwich Albion, despite impressing during his initial displays for the club.

Krychowiak started for West Brom against both Brighton & Hove Albion and, most recently, West Ham United.

The Polish international has caught the eye, with his disciplined displays in the heart of the Baggies’ midfield.

And Pulis believes that Krychowiak will only continue to get better, as he develops his fitness levels.

“He still feels that he is not sharp and as strong as he would like to be,” Pulis said. “He is going to be a really good player for us.”

Eyebrows were raised when West Brom were able to bring in Krychowiak from PSG in the summer transfer window, and it appears that he could have a key role to play over the course of the season.

West Brom’s latest contest with West Ham finished as a 0-0 draw, with defences winning out at the Hawthorns.

Neither side created many clear cut chances, during a contest that rarely set pulses racing.

The Baggies have made an encouraging start to the new campaign, and currently sit in 10th place in the Premier League table.

Albion are next in action on Wednesday evening, when they take on Manchester City in the League Cup.
