ALBION completed their second summer 2009 signing in the space of 48 hours - by wrapping up a permanent £175,000 deal for Paris Saint-Germain's Youssouf Mulumbu.
The defensive midfielder, who initially joined the Baggies on loan in January, penned a one-year contract, plus a further year's option in the club's favour in July.
The deal swiftly became a two-year contract, plus a further year's option in the club's favour, in August.
Mulumbu's spell at The Hawthorns last season was interrupted by injuries and he had to wait until April to make his Barclays Premier League debut, coming on as a sub in a 2-2 draw at Portsmouth.
But he shone in a 68-minute display on his full Albion debut the following month, albeit in a harsh 1-0 defeat at Tottenham.
In total, Mulumbu made six appearances, including four as a sub, and caught the eye with his energetic midfield performances.
Mulumbu, who was capped once by France Under-21s, had made seven senior international appearances for the Democratic Republic of Congo before arriving at The Hawthorns.
He joined PSG in 2004 and signed his first professional contract in November 2006.
Mulumbu helped PSG reach the UEFA Cup's last 16 in 2007 before they were knocked out by Benfica, losing 5-2 on aggregate.
He spent the 2007/08 season on loan at Ligue Two outfit Amiens, notching once in 23 appearances.
