Steve Clarke has revealed he sought the advice of Manchester United boss, David Moyes, before he made a move for Victor Anichebe.
Moyes managed Anichebe at Everton before his own move to Old Trafford.
Clarke was impressed by what he heard when he spoke to his counterpart.
“I spoke to David, just to ask him one or two things not just about Victor, but other players too,” Clarke, said
“It was two or three weeks before the window closed but we spoke about a number of players, including Victor.
“He spoke very well about Victor and other players.
“Normally when you’re after a player you try to speak to people who have worked with that player before.
“Victor was a player I wanted.
“I felt his attributes would complement the players we had at the club.”
The Nigerian international played a pivotal role as the Baggies stunned Manchester United by 2-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday.
