Grady yet to agree loan extension

|

Hammer Grady Diagana and West Ham have yet to agree on a loan extension with Slaven Bilic’s West Brom to allow him to remain at the Championship club beyond 30th June.

While the likes Jordan Hugill and Josh Cullen and the club have agreed on terms with Championship sides  QPR and Charlton Athletic no such announcement has yet been made about Diagana. Loans can only be extended if the payer and both clubs agree.

Diangana, who has scored five goals and produced six assists so far this season missed the last few months of the Baggies’ season before suspension due to a hamstring injury – with the midfielder being forced off inside nine minutes against stoke City back in January.

The 21-year-old, who made a promising start for Slaven Bilic, sustained a hamstring injury against Brentford in December – keeping him out for four weeks.

Despite initially recovering and completing a full 90 minutes against Charlton Athletic in January, Diangana limped off in the Baggies’ next game in a  1-0 defeat against Stoke City after just four minutes and failed to appear again with accusations he was rushed back too quickly by West Brom medical staff.

West Brom is set to resume their Premier League promotion push against Birmingham on Saturday 20th June with their final game against QPR on Wednesday 22nd July.

The Baggies would need to part with a club-record fee of £20m if they wanted to have any chance of signing Diagana permanently it has been claimed.
