Fresh Scottish interest in Hammer

West Bromwich Albion would love to sign Grady Diangana on a permanent deal but the £20 million-rated West Ham winger also has admirers at Celtic, according to The Sun (13 July, page 47).

Should either club submit a bid around that level it would smash either club’s transfer record.

David Moyes is not short of wingers but Grady’s loan to the Baggies could convince the manager that the youngster is worthy of a regular first-team start next season.

West Ham would be reluctant to let one of their Academy stars go but a big bid could persuade them with next to nothing in the summer transfer budget.

The transfer market is likely to be suppressed this summer so it would surprise if West Brom or Celtic could afford a £20m player but the Hammers are not prepared to sell any opf their prized assets on the cheap and will hope Grady is prepared to stick around and compete for a first-team place.
