It remains to be seen whether winger Grady Diangana will still be at West Brom when the new Championship season kicks off in a few weeks, with his status at The Hawthorns quite questionable at the moment.
Last season, the 31-year-old appeared 31 times in the league, 21 of which were starts, contributing four goals and three assists in a season in which he was unable to make as big of an impression as he has in previous campaigns.
The signing of Diangana by West Brom was considered as a major blow to West Ham United, with Diangana joining the Baggies on a permanent basis in 2020, signing a five-year contract in the process.
The Baggies will be attempting to mount a promotion push during the forthcoming Championship season, and it is difficult to say whether Diangana will be a part of Carlos Corberan’s plans in the Midlands at this time.
While we await the outcome of Diangana’s predicament at West Brom over the remainder of the summer transfer window, we take a look at the latest developments surrounding the 25-year-old and his prospective exit…

What is the most recent information on Grady Diangana’s transfer status?
West Brom’s early summer stance
Earlier in the summer transfer window, a report from Sunday People suggested that the Baggies would listen to offers for influential pair Dara O’Shea and Grady Diangana.The former has already completed a multi-million move away from The Hawthorns, with Premier League-bound Burnley picking up the Irish centre-back.
The report revealed that West Brom were keen on balancing the books by selling two of their most prized assets, although it is expected that they will still have a high valuation of the 25-year-old.
Championship interest surfaces in the West Brom winger
A more recent update from journalist Darren Witcoop has suggested that the stance at Albion has not changed, even with the O’Shea sale, as he has claimed that the Baggies are still looking to generate funds through player sales.
According to Witcoop, who called Cardiff City swooping for Karlan Grant, Darnell Furlong, like Diangana is attracting interest, although there was no indication as to which clubs are keeping tabs on the pair.
Witcoop’s update also revealed that Cedric Kipre’s future is up in the air at present.
Transfer insider suggests Leeds United as an ideal destination
According to a report from the Express & Star, Leeds United are one of several Championship clubs who are keeping an eye on the exciting winger ahead of the start of the new second tier season.
Transfer insider Dean Jones spoke to Give Me Sport about Leeds’ interest in the 25-year-old and said that he could be an ideal Wilfried Gnonto replacement if the winger is to depart Elland Road in what remains of this window.
The aforementioned report from the Express & Star states that West Brom will not be forced to sell cheap, which could be somewhat of a stumbling block for the Whites.
