West Brom want to sign Famara Diedhiou
West Brom want to sign former Bristol City striker Famara Diedhiou this summer, according to Gregor MacGregor.
The Bristol Live journalist has shared that the Senegalese colossus has offers on the table from the UK and Turkey.
It is suggested that a decision is close to being made, but it is uncertain whether that will lead him to The Hawthorns.
Responding to a fan in a Q&A on Monday, MacGregor shared it was unlikely Diedhiou would return to Bristol City after becoming a free agent.
“In fact, we believe that Fam is not too far from deciding on his next move, with offers from Turkey and the UK on the table,” he wrote.
“I know that one side with an interest is West Brom but whether the Baggies will complete a deal we’ll see. He could be a good fit there and to be fair that would be a good move for him too.”
Options.
Karlan Grant and Callum Robinson will be hoping for bigger roles next season, especially after relegation to the Championship.
The former Huddersfield man especially has done extremely well at this level previously and will be wanting to smash double figures and prove himself at the Baggies.
With Charlie Austin leaving though, there is a spot up for grabs, and while the likes of Callum Morton may have been hopeful, it may be for Diedhiou.
Diedhiou only scored eight goals at Ashton Gate last season, despite making 40 appearances in the Championship, and we aren’t that impressed.
We need goalscorers, not another huge unit in the final third, and Valerien Ismael will want someone who can press the opposition defence high up.
Diedhiou may not be that man, but this Baggies side could create many more chances for him next season; time will tell, but he has been labelled “world-class” at City before.
