The West Bromwich Albion loanee has been called up to the Under-21s for the first time in his career.
A number of West Bromwich Albion fans have taken to Twitter to praise Grady Diangana after The Hawthorns loanee was called up to the England Under-21 squad (official Baggies website).
The Young Lions will be contesting two UEFA European U21 Championship qualifiers this month and the West Ham man will be part of Aidy Boothroyd’s setup for the first time having previously played for the U20s.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder youngster has started the season in impressive form for the Baggies, scoring three in four Championship appearances for Slaven Bilic’s charges since joining on loan from the Hammers.
Diangana will travel with the U21s to Istanbul for a fixture against Turkey on Friday, September 6 before returning to England and hosting Kosovo at Hull City’s KCOM Stadium the following Monday, September 9.
Here is what some of the West Brom faithful said on social media about the call-up:
Diangana and Queens Park Rangers’ Eberechi Eze replace Arsenal’s Joe Willock and Burnley’s Dwight McNeil in the squad, the latter two having both had to withdraw through injury.
