According to The Daily Star, Slaven Bilic wants West Bromwich Albion to pay West Ham United £20 million to sign Grady Diangana, with Celtic, Everton and Newcastle United also interested in the midfielder.

Celtic, Everton and Newcastle are reportedly interested in signing Diangana, who spent the 2019-20 campaign on loan at Championship club West Brom from Premier League outfit West Ham.

Baggies manager Bilic wants the newly-promoted Premier League club to spend £20 million to secure the services of the 22-year-old midfielder, according to the report.

In-demand player

Diangana was superb for West Brom this season and played a key role in the Baggies winning automatic promotion to the Premier League.

With Celtic, Everton and Newcastle also reportedly interested in the 22-year-old, it is not going to be easy for the Baggies to sign him on a permanent deal.

True, the English midfielder knows West Brom well now, but Celtic and Newcastle are massive clubs.

However, it is hard to see Celtic cough up £20 million for a player this summer, although the Magpies are an established club in the Premier League and would be quite appealing to Diangana.

According to WhoScored, Diangana scored eight goals and provided six assists in the Championship for West Brom this season.
