Ahead of a clash with former club Tottenham Hotspur Nacer Chadli’s new manager Tony Pulis has been praising the impact he has made at the Hawthorns – as reported by FourFourTwo.

West Brom snapped up the Belgian international from Spurs this summer after it became clear he had slipped down the pecking order at White Hart Lane under manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Since joining the Baggies he has scored three goals in four games and looked a brilliant buy from Pulis.

Speaking about Chadli’s start to life at West Brom the Baggies boss had this to say, as reported by FourFourTwo:

“Nacer has done well.

“We have been really pleased with him. Not just with how he has played but also with the way he has mixed with the group.

“Nacer has a good manner about him and the group look up to him. Let’s hope he keeps scoring goals.”

Of course Chadli gets a chance this weekend to prove a point to his former employers.

West Brom welcome Spurs to the Midlands this week, with the away side in scintillating current form that seems to be justifying their sale of Chadli to West Brom.

The Belgian, who is still popular among the Spurs fans and those at the club, will undoubtedly hope to put a dent in that form and show Pochettino he deserved more chances at White Hart Lane during his time at the club.
