Roman Bednar has revealed West Brom have agreed a deal to sign him permanently from Hearts for £2 million in the summer.

The Czech forward moved to The Hawthorns last summer in a season-long loan deal and has been in fine form for the Baggies, scoring 12 goals in 13 starts for Tony Mowbray's table-toppers.

Albion wrapped up a £900,000 deal to sign Ishmael Miller in January's transfer window, and Bednar has confirmed everything is in place for him to pen a permanent contract with the club at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old admits he never wants to return to Tynecastle after repeatedly criticising Jambos owner Vladimir Romanov.

And he also admitted Mowbray has had a massive influence on his form.

Bednar said: "The money is already agreed. If West Brom want me they just pay the fee to Hearts and I will be their player."

"I think I can stay. I just want to enjoy playing football and that's what I am doing here with West Brom."

"We can see what happens in a few months. I don't want to speak about it too much but I believe everything is in place for me to stay."

Bednar added: "Tony Mowbray has made a real difference to me. I think he's a great gaffer, one of the best I have worked with."

"When he was in Scotland you saw how Hibernian played and he is great on the training field. He played football at a high level so he knows what he is talking about."

"For me, this time is similar to when I arrived at Hearts. We had a similar atmosphere, everybody believed and we were winning a lot of games with George Burley."
