“We’ve agreed to a fee but it still has to go to the tribunal. He’s had a few injury problems, so he’s just a little bit short there. But it’s not like he’s coming here to sit on the bench. He’s coming because we’ve bought him to make a big impact. Clint’s a wide player up front, can play either flank, strong with pace, a good player, good touch. He has all the attributes to be a good player in the Premier League, is the right age, and was in our price range.”
