West Ham United are reportedly ready to let Grady Diangana head out on loan for the coming campaign.

Grady Diangana of West Ham United back for the first day of Training at Rush Green on July 1, 2019 in Romford, England.

According to a report from the Sunday People (21/7; page 54), West Ham are prepared to loan Grady Diangana out for the coming campaign, with a number of clubs interested in the exciting winger.

Diangana went into Manuel Pellegrini’s first season at the London Stadium still awaiting his senior debut. But a Carabao Cup tie with Macclesfield proved to be a defining moment for the 21-year-old as he scored twice in an 8-0 win.

He remained around the first-team for the rest of the season, making 21 appearances in all competitions, including 17 in the Premier League. However, he struggled to kick on after impressing in his first few weeks in Pellegrini’s squad.

So it is perhaps unsurprising that the Sunday People (21/7; page 54) is reporting that the Irons are now ready to let Diangana head out on loan next season, with Championship clubs and teams from abroad keen on the academy graduate.

Could loan help Diangana make the Grade?

Diangana appears to divide a decent number of the West Ham fans. Some believe that he has a lot of potential, while others are unconvinced that he is going to be good enough. His situation is perhaps not helped by the fact that he was 20 by the time he made his senior debut.

A loan spell could be a fantastic option for the wide-man. He will have the opportunity to play a lot more, develop his game and potentially prove to the Hammers that he is good enough to play an important role in their plans in the coming years.
