KEMAR Roofe is close to being announced as returning to Oxford United on a permanent basis, the Oxford Mail understands.
The 22-year-old was a top target for the U's this summer after a successful loan spell at the club which saw him score six goals in the final seven games of the season.
His form was attracting interest from clubs in Sky Bet League One, but the U's look to have won the race for the forward, who is out of contract at West Brom at the end of the campaign.
This afternoon the club's official Twitter feed posted a close-up photograph of Roofe's distinctive 'A' celebration, along with the message "Coming soon?"
