It’s Cullen v Diangana in crucial clash

Two fabulous young Hammers come face to face tomorrow in the Championship game of the day!

Top of the table West Brom – with Grady Diangana looking set to play a part meet Charlton where Josh Cullen too is likely to involved as he has been all season for the Addicks.

Adding even more spice to the clash with the Baggies top and Charlton in 10th is that both are managed by ex Hammers of course – Slaven and Lee Bowyer.

A win for the Sout Londoners however could see them close to within two points of the midlanders.

Both players have been doing brilliantly at their loan clubs but the pair of them have a common purpose of returning to the Hammers as part of the first team squad.

There is no donbt that will be the case with Grady and frankly I reckon – if I was forced to have a bet – that Cullen will sign a new deal next summer ahead of his current one running out.

Meanwhile they will be wanting to inspire their current outfits into the Premier League and  this looks a chance for both to impress watching Hammers staff.

Bowyer saud: “They [West Brom] are a good side. They are going for the top two. They’ve got a good manager and good players.

They have got the lad on loan from West Ham [Diangana] as well, whenever he starts or comes off the bench he makes something happen. They have got players who can hurt you all over the pitch.”
