West Bromwich Albion have reportedly enquired about taking West Ham United youngster Grady Diangana on loan for the coming season.
A number of West Brom fans have taken to Twitter to react to reports from Football London suggesting that Slaven Bilic has enquired about loaning Grady Diangana from West Ham for the rest of the season.
Diangana broke into the Hammers’ first-team last term and made a brilliant start to life in the senior side. However, he arguably struggled to build on his early promise and it is little surprise that Manuel Pellegrini is considering loaning him out before Thursday’s deadline.
Football London reports that Bilic has enquired about loaning the winger for the campaign and West Brom are prepared to pay the loan fee that the Irons are looking for. The deal – should it go through – is also set to include a recall option.
The reports have received a mixed response from the West Brom fans on social media. Plenty of Baggies supporters are just desperate to see the club bring in any attacking players before the window shuts, while others seem excited about the prospect of Diangana arriving.
There are others however, who appear to be less enthusiastic about a potential move for Diangana. West Brom have a number of talented wide players, and some are concerned that the 21-year-old’s arrival would have a negative impact on the teammates he may keep out of the team.
There is also a worry about the prospect of a recall clause. Leicester City recalled Harvey Barnes during the January transfer window after his inspired spell at the Hawthorns, and the fans do not want history repeating itself if Diangana does join and proves to be a hit.
Here is how some of the fans have reacted to the reports…
