Kamil Grosicki reveals Slaven Bilić tried to bring him to West Ham | OneFootball

West Brom winger Kamil Grosicki has revealed that Slaven Bilić attempted to sign him when he was in charge of West Ham.

In fact, Bilić had been interested in the now-31-year-old Grosicki for nearly a decade.

While the 73-time Poland international ended up spurning the Hammers and joining Hull City from Rennes for €9m in 2017, Grosicki and Bilić finally teamed up two weeks ago, with the Baggies landing him in an €800,000 move.

“Slaven Bilić was looking for such a player. He had me in his notebook for a long time,” he told Polish outlet Sport.

“After EURO 2012, he wanted to bring me Moscow to Lokomotiv, where he became a coach after parting with the Croatian team.

“Then there was a topic when he was at West Ham, but I didn’t get to London. In the end, we managed to meet after eight years of stalking!”

Grosicki has been in impressive form all year, scoring eight goals and assisting five others, and now finds himself in prime position for a Premier League return as the Baggies are six points clear atop the Championship table.
