Corberan could sign West Brom’s next Diangana in swoop for £16 Leeds United star

West Bromwich Albion fans will be eagerly anticipating any developments of new arrivals into the building at the Hawthorns, with much of the talk this off-season in Baggies quarters centring on a number of departures.

It doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom from a West Brom perspective, however, with a new and fresh squad next campaign perhaps working in their favour, ahead of another promotion push being on the cards.

The West Midlands outfit could even sign a player with the same sublime trickery as Grady Diangana this transfer window, if reports are correct, without having to break the bank to do so.West Brom looking at entertaining free-agentAccording to a recent report from Birmingham World, the Championship play-off semi-finalists from last season are ready to ‘lock horns’ with rivals Birmingham City over the signature of soon-to-be free agent Josh Windass, who is out of contract with Sheffield Wednesday imminently.

Looking nailed on to sign a new deal at Leeds United at one point, after performing valiantly for the Leeds during their relegation worries, talks between the 30-year-old attacking midfielder and the South Yorkshire side have since stalled, leading to West Brom’s keen interest forming.

The report further suggests that the Baggies have even made contact, with Carlos Corberan’s men potentially having the upper-hand in any potential transfer scrap, owing to their status in the Championship, compared to Birmingham’s now League One positioning.

What Windass could offer West Brom

With speculation also suggesting that Diangana could be off this summer, Windass might well be the natural successor West Brom need if the Congolese attacker does end up leaving, having enthralled and entertained fans at Leeds United in a similar manner over his many years at Wednesday, to that of Diangana back at the Hawthorns.
