The 20-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Molineux and West Brom got in contact with their Midlands i’m rivals about agreeing a loan for the season.
Lembikisa spent a spell on loan at Hearts in the second half of last season, where he made 18 appearances and established himself as a key player in their side.
