West Bromwich Albion: Claudio Yacob tipped to become a future Baggies skipper Claudio Yacob Claudio Yacob has the makings to be the next West Bromwich Albion chief. That is in accordance with Baggies assistant manager Kevin Keen, who feels the Argentina international has got the essential features to be always a skipper. Yacob has impressed all at The Hawthorns with the way he has adapted to Premier League football since his move from Racing Club last summer. And Keen thinks that after the 25-year-old features a better comprehension of English - he is currently having lessons - he'll bring a lot more to Steve Clarke's area. Asked whether Yacob is leader content, Keen said: aYes. Thatas my own opinion. aI can easily see sometimes in training that heas really wanting to say some things and he canat really speak that right now. aBut he's working very difficult at his English and I think within six months he will be able to get his some ideas over a lot better. aAnd I really do think there's a possibility of a leader there. aI think heas been an excellent acquisition for West Brom, I really do. aAnd heas an excellent lad around the place, his English is coming on and his lessons are going on non-stop. aOccasionally we hear him talk a little bit, and I think when he becomes a more communicative in English his part within the group will progress even more since I think having been captain of Racing Club, I think heas got a few ideas and leadership qualities about him that will progress even more when his English becomes even better." Excited continued: aHe got slightly of publicity early in the day in the period however he was out for quite a while with injury and the group missed him. aBut hopefully between now and the conclusion of the season, if he can remain wonderful actually, he can contribute to us getting our most useful complete ever." Yacob's protecting abilities have offered Albion's full-backs - Goran Popov or Liam Ridgewell on the left, Steven Reid or Billy Jones on the right - more license to obtain forward. However the south American has not been too impressed recently with other aspects of England. aHe hasnat been happy going back day or two with the weather," continued Keen. aItas 35 degrees home and he's standing, looking out of the window and shaking his head saying aKevin, what's this?a aItas very unusual for March, perhaps. aFor me he's come into the group as the kind of person that the head coach was trying to find and the role he has played in the staff has been very effective alongside the other midfield players who have played most of the period, Youssouf and James. aThe three of them have now been a primary aspect of the success place had this year with Claudio to arrive and playing that keeping role and being easy with his play but very clever with his breaking up of the oppositionas play. aThey (full-backs) know that if they proceed theyave got some body there who feels aBillyas gone, Iall only wander slightly that way in the event we lose ita. aThatas what he was introduced for, as an intelligent defensive person, a typical Argentinian No.5. aHe was earned from that culture. aHe has done very well along side so lots of the squad that have done extremely well this year."
