The 22-year-old moved to the Hawthorns on a season-long loan from Belgian side Gent last summer but has been limited to three appearances in the cups.

The Baggies have been given permission by El Ghanassy's parent club to loan him on to Heerenveen, although they retain their option to make the Belgium international's move permanent.

West Brom sporting & technical director Richard Garlick said: "Due to the team's progress this season, Yassine has found first-team chances hard to come by.

"We feel it is in everyone's best interests to allow Yassine to go out on loan and get some games under his belt."
