The deal is worth up to \u00a318 million as West Brom continue to strengthen their team ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n<p>Percy also notes personal terms between Diangana and West Brom have also been agreed.<\/p>\n<h2>Grady Diangana Set for West Bromwich Albion Medical<\/h2>\n<h3>A Potential Club Record Deal for West Brom<\/h3>\n<p>Diangana was outstanding for West Brom last season as they secured promotion. His goals, creativity and general exciting play made him one of the best players in the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>The deal agreed could potentially reach \u00a318 million, which would be a club record. Slaven Bilic has been desperate for reinforcements as he looks to boost his team ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n<p>West Ham must raise funds to sign new players and the sale of Diangana will certainly help David Moyes. The Hammers are yet to make a signing this summer and, with the season drawing nearer, there is concern they are missing out on their transfer targets.<\/p>\n<p>Diangana\u2019s sale will certainly give Moyes a significant boost as he chases <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2020\/09\/03\/west-ham-target-brentfords-said-benrahma\/\" target=\"_self\">Brentford\u2019s Said Benrahma<\/a>. The sale of Diangana could accelerate West Ham\u2019s pursuit of the Brentford winger.<\/p>\n<h3>West Brom Set to Beat Premier League Rivals to Diangana<\/h3>\n<p>The one hitch in West Brom\u2019s pursuit of Diangana is interest elsewhere. Earlier today, it was being reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_self\">Aston Villa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/fulham\/\" target=\"_self\">Fulham<\/a> were attempting to hijack the deal, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RobDorsettSky\/status\/1301494865801379842\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sky&#8217;s Rob Dorsett<\/a>. But, it looks as though West Brom have won the race for their top target.<\/p>\n<p>Diangana\u2019s arrival is certainly a huge signing for the Baggies. He will reunite with Slaven Bilic once again and certainly become the key creative figure in the Baggies team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"My_J9LGpR6FpmsXvGs_Peg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1254436462\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'My_J9LGpR6FpmsXvGs_Peg',sig:'8bJofG-4M7fC6-Y3dVRXwxbcUmvi5j8RCrGASDG1hY4=',w:'594px',h:'389px',items:'1254436462',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grady Diangana is set for a medical with West Bromwich Albion according to The Telegraph&#8217;s John Percy.
