Slaven Bilic holds further talks with West Brom bosses as tensions grow at the Hawthorns following controversial sale of midfielder Ahmed Hegazi

Slaven Bilic has revealed he held further talks with West Brom bosses to discuss the controversial sale of Ahmed Hegazi amid growing tension behind the scenes at The Hawthorns.

The Croatian revealed he had had discussions with technical director Luke Dowling and chief executive Xu Ke two days after his team drew 1-1 at Brighton on Monday.

In the meeting, Bilic said he had reiterated his opinion about the departure of Hegazi. At Brighton, Bilic said he was 'disappointed' the Egyptian defender, who had started the previous game against Burnley, had been allowed to join Saudi club Al-Ittihad.
