West Brom loan star likely to cost Baggies £15m+ for permanent deal – report
West Ham are likely to demand over £15million for Grady Diangana once his loan spell at West Brom comes to an end, according to football.london.
Hammers news website Claret & Hugh has recently reported that Slaven Bilic is keen to strike a deal to sign Diangana, 22, on a permanent basis but the London club have no intentions to sell him.
However an update by football.london says that West Ham could be tempted into a deal if over £15million is offered for the England Under-21 international.
Diangana joined the Baggies on a season-long loan last summer but, unlike Matheus Pereira, the Black Country club does not have the option to land the West Ham youngster permanently.
Albion would be stupid to not want to sign Diangana on a full-time basis with the winger scoring five goals and supplying six assists in 21 Championship appearances this season.
However, any permanent deal is bound to depend on West Ham’s resolve to keep the attacker and whether or not West Brom can match the financial aspects of a deal.
But £15million seems pretty affordable, especially when you think that the club had no issue with sanctioning that kind of spend on Oliver Burke in 2017.
