The Hammers are said to be interested in reconciling with the Congo international, four years after he left for The Hawthorns in a £11.5 million move.
Diangana has battled to maintain consistency at West Brom, but he is exceptional when at his best. The dynamic winger scored eight goals and assisted seven in Albion’s 2019/20 promotion season while on loan, but scoring just one goal in 20 Premier League games the next year.
It was another poor season upon the return to the Championship, with just two goals and one assist contributed in 41 matches throughout 2022/23. But the two most recent campaigns have been far better, with a combined 11 goals and 11 assists in 67 games.
Africa Foot Reports West Ham have opted to aim for a stunning return after keeping a close eye on Diangana’s improvement. According to reports, the Hammers are “already in discussions” with West Brom’s management about a move, with a £9.8 million bid on the table.
West Brom must raise finances through sales this summer if Carlos Corberan wants to make his mark on the club. It remains to be seen whether the Baggies are willing to sacrifice Diangana to facilitate this.
Wolverhampton Wanderers could join the competition for Diangana, with Africa Foot reporting that the Old Gold are interested in a summer move. Brighton & Hove Albion, Leicester City, Lazio, and Roma are also mentioned as interested parties.
Because of the fierce rivalry with Wolves, moving from The Hawthorns to Molineux would immediately sour Diangana’s connection with West Brom’s ardent supporters. The Congolese should bear that in mind when choosing his future club.
He could still stay, but with only 12 months remaining on his contract, Albion may be eager to cash in while they can.
