Grady Diangana has admirers but West Brom won't be forced to sell on cheap

The £7million sale of O’Shea to Burnley helped bring in crucial funds as Albion look to balance the books this summer – and any further sales, including the likes of Diangana, will be at market value as the Baggies look to avoid being low-balled.

It is understood top-end clubs from the Championship, including relegated Premier League sides, are monitoring the winger’s situation with an eye on moving for the former West Ham United youngster.

Any Diangana move could rest on the winger proving his fitness. He last played in the 2-0 home victory over Middlesbrough on February 25 and missed the remainder of the season after surgery on ligament damage in his foot.

Diangana joined Albion for an initial £12m potentially rising to £18m in 2020 after the winger shone on loan in helping the club secure promotion. He signed a five-year deal which expires in two years.

And the winger has admirers that may be willing to spend to get him out of The Hawthorns as Albion address their squad this summer.

Diangana started last season well under Steve Bruce but later fell out of Corberan’s starting XI, with Matty Phillips preferred on the left flank. The winger is viewed by some of the division’s big-hitters as a player capable of rediscovering his best form in the Championship.

He scored four times in 35 games last term.

While there is an acknowledgement head coach Carlos Corberan must add to his squad, Albion’s priority remains sales to recoup some much-needed funds and to lower the wage bill.

O’Shea moved on to Premier League new-boys Burnley for £7m in a deal that eases some of the financial burden but more player exits are likely to follow.

Other Albion players linked with exits this summer are fellow attacker Karlan Grant, who has been subject of speculation linking him with Rangers among others.

England under-21s goalkeeper Josh Griffiths has been linked with Newcastle United and Jayson Molumby was rumoured to be on Leeds United’s radar.
