Glasgow-born Sule, who signed for West Brom from the Scottish champions in 2023, excelled in PL2 last season, scoring nine goals in 11 games, but only managed one first-team appearance with the Baggies.
He has signed a new long-term contract with the EFL Championship club, who are keen for him to go out and get first-team games.
Motherwell boss Jens Berthel Askou has won the race to sign the talented teenager, ahead of likes of Lyon and Newcastle.
The news that will please Motherwell fans who are looking for new players comes as if emerged that Rangers had a cheeky bid for Lennon Miller booted out nearly 15 months ago.

It's common knowledge that Celtic's advances for the young midfielder were rebuffed by the Fir Park club, but the Rangers offer only came to light in recent days.

Miller is easily the most attractive young prospect in Scottish football right now, and won't be short of offers.
The 18-year-old won every Scottish Premiership Young Player of the Year award going, broke into the Scotland first-team set-up and made his debut, and excelled in a Motherwell side that struggled last season amid two manager walk-outs in Stuart Kettlewell and Michael Wimmer.

Rangers are believed to have verbally offered £1million for the Wishaw hot shot, which was instantly refused.
Clubs in England and around Europe are circling, knowing they're looking at £3million just to enter a conversation, and Miller has admitted himself that he fancies a move abroad, hopefully in the vein of the likes of Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Max Johnston.
Dad Lee also says that would be an attractive proposition for the star, who is currently in pre-season with Motherwell and travelled to their base in Delden last week.
In the meantime, should Sule sign for Motherwell, fans might get their first glimpse of the player during their Premier Sports Cup Group G opener against Clyde at the Hamilton Community Stadium on Saturday.
Askou's side are then at home to League Two champions Peterhead on Tuesday, July 15.

Ofoborh finds new club as he signs for League Two rivals
Former Swindon Town midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh has joined their League Two rivals Barnet on the eve of their season beginning. Ofoborh spent a little over a season with Swindon, initially signing in March 2024 and playing every game before the end of that campaign and then being a mainstay, especially under Ian Holloway, during 2024/25. The midfielder was one of five out-of-contract players to be offered a new deal back in May, but, along with goalkeeper Jack Bycroft, he waited too long to make a decision, and it was taken off the table. But after a summer in which he was hoping to secure a move to League One and spent time training with Cambridge United, he has become the second player who left Town last summer to secure a new team by joining Barnet. The Bees just won the National League under Dean Brennan, who was a managerial target for Swindon last summer before Mark Kennedy was appointed, and will be hoping to push on again, having made a number of exciting additions, including Romoney Crichlow and Dennis Adeniran. Ofoborh joins the North West London club one day before their season begins in the Carabao Cup preliminary round against Newport County at The Hive. He will also be back at the Nigel Eady County Ground very soon, as Swindon host Barnet on August 19. He told club media on his arrival: 'It has been a long summer and there has been a lot of talk about people going places, and I got the opportunity to speak with the gaffer [Brennan] and I liked what he was saying and the project. 'I knew a few of the boys already, so it was pretty much an easy decision for me.' Read more: Loan move in progress for young Swindon defender Wright's absence from Eastleigh friendly explained Holloway expects Smith to play Championship football with Swindon Holloway said in June that he wanted to keep Ofoborh, but had to move to other targets after he did not give an answer prior to his deadline. He said: 'Some of the ones I wanted to keep did not stay. I gave them opportunities to stay, but they took too long for me, and then I said 'No'. 'I thought I made it clear, I think they are disappointed as they thought they had more time, but I know what I said, and I meant it. 'I am sorry for that, I wish them all the best, but I have had to move on. I want people who want to be here for real, not just because they couldn't find anything else that was slightly better."

Cambridge agree deal for midfielder McLoughlin
Cambridge have signed midfielder Shane McLoughlin on a one-year contract following his departure from Newport at the end of last season. The 28-year-old, who can also operate in defence, played 36 games in League Two last season but turned down the offer of a new deal at Rodney Parade. A former Republic of Ireland youth international, McLoughlin began his career at Ipswich before moving on to AFC Wimbledon, Morecambe and Salford City. He had been on trial with the U's during pre-season and becomes their eighth new arrival this summer. "I have been in the last week and got an idea of what the club is about, what the manager wants this season and what the lads are striving for," said McLoughlin. "It's a big club for this division and I am raring to get back into it now. I can't wait for Saturday and the season ahead."
