View: Latest West Brom blow proves how badly Bilic needs to sign 27y/o international
After the home defeat against Stoke, West Brom have now gone six Championship fixtures without a win and there was yet another injury blow for Grady Diangana.
The 21-year-old was forced off the pitch just minutes into his return to the starting line-up with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.
You could see in Diangana’s face straight away that he had suffered a recurrence of an injury he has not long recovered from and now it looks as though Slaven Bilic could be without the West Ham loanee for several weeks – again.
West Brom have not won in a league match that Diangana hasn’t featured since signing him on loan in the summer and after the toothless display against Stoke after he’d gone off, it is clear that attacking reinforcements are needed.
And that is why the Baggies must step up their pursuit of Dinamo Zagreb forward Milsav Orsic.
Croatian news outlet Sportske Novosti has reported that West Brom are in pursuit of the 27-year-old attacker this month.
He has scored 19 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions this season for Dinamo with most of those coming from the left-wing.
Orsic can also play as a striker or even on the right-wing but with Diangana looking as though he is set for another spell on the sidelines, someone who can play well on the left would be a smart addition.
Bilic has confirmed that his fellow Croatian is a target for West Brom this month and now it will be interesting to see whether a big effort is made to sign him.
There’s no way West Brom can end the month without any new arrivals with the form they are in and the fact that Diangana is likely to miss out for the next few weeks.
