Fulham has become the latest club to be interested in signing West Ham United winger, Grady Diangana, according to a report from The Sun.

The report claims the Cottagers are competing with West Brom for the signature of the 22-year-old, who spent an impressive season with the Baggies in the Championship last term.

Diangana contributed eight goals and seven assists as Albion won promotion back to the Premier League. However, it is claimed that both Celtic and Ajax are also keen on the youngster.

West Ham, on the other hand, are thought to be keen on seeing how Diangana progresses with them. He impressed yesterday in a pre-season friendly win for the Hammers. Indeed, Football.London claimed this month that West Ham won’t entertain any permanent offers for their man.

But Fulham seems determined to make a splash once again in the market upon their return. They are already eyeing the likes of Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash, while they signed Antonee Robinson from Wigan.

Fulham are being linked with a number of players so it’s little surprise to see their name chucked in the hat when it comes to Diangana.

Previous reports have claimed the Hammers valued their man at around £15m. That sort of fee will not put Scott Parker or his owners off, meaning the Cottagers may very much be in the race.

Furthermore, Diangana is more likely to play at Craven Cottage. Of course, he has his chance to impress in pre-season and has started well.

Ultimately, the decision may come down to David Moyes deciding if he sees value in keeping the winger around.
