According to The Birmingham Mail, the Baggies would have to offer Diangana’s parent club £20m if they want to sign the England youth international on a permanent basis, with the report stating that West Ham value the 21-year-old attacker highly and consider him a future first-team player.
The prospect of Diangana joining on a permanent basis is a tantalising one for West Brom supporters, and plenty took to social media to voice their support of a move for the youngster but only if the club are promoted to the Premier League this season.
Here’s what lots of West Brom fans had to say on Twitter about a permanent move for Diangana…
If we go up I’d seriously consider that…

If we get promoted then this has to be a priority. He plays like he could be the next Sterling.
Tricky and pacey with a great ability to read the game.
Goals and assists are building into his game.
He’s become better defensively aswell and bizzarly physical for someone his size!— JonW1995 (@JonW1995) January 30, 2020
if we go up, worth to spend £20M on him
