Two of Albion's deals were agreed before the transfer window opened, as the signings of Richie Towell and Liam Ridgewell were announced in the tail end of 2015.
*
Albion secured the services of attacking midfielder Towell from Irish club Dundalk back in November, and subsequently completed the deal when the transfer window re-opened on 2nd January.

The addition of Ridgewell was confirmed on 30th December, in a short-term loan deal. The former Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City defender made his Albion debut in the Emirates FA Cup third round defeat to Hull City, along with Towell.

Manager Chris Hughton bolstered his midfield ranks next with the addition of French winger Anthony Knockaert from Belgian side Standard Liege.
*
The 24-year-old joined for an undisclosed fee and signed a three-and-a-half year deal at the club on his return to England, following a successful spell at Leicester City, where he was part of the Foxes side that won promotion to the Premier League.
