A whole host of West Brom fans took to Twitter as news emerged of Mbaye Diagne potentially returning on a permanent basis.

Diagne was signed by Sam Allardyce in January but it appears the club are looking to sign the striker on a permanent deal according to Turkish news outlet, Ajansspor.

Should West Brom sign Diagne?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Galatasary are reportedly wanting £5.9 million for the striker that only managed to net three times in 16 games for the Baggies as they were ultimately relegated from the Premier League this season.

And when the news was relayed to them on Twitter by @WBAReport, there wre plenty who were on hand to share their positivity over the chance of signing Diagne on a permanent deal:

What have these West Brom fans had to say?

“He would score for fun in the championship”

@jjonesmantle

“His xG when he joined till he left was one of the best in the league. Was quite unlucky I thought. If he gets the rub of the green 5m is a bargain”

@jbrookeswm

“This would be a fantastic addition if we could add him especially in the championship”

@martin23051987

“Better than Zohore who we paid £9 million for. I think a season in the championship he could make the step up with us if we go back up. Got good feet and creates chances for himself out of nothing.”

@AndrewP66683304

“I would definitely try to keep him, great player”

@mjinks451

“He’d be a good signing for the championship. Give the bloke a chance”

@laneyditch

“No VAR he’ll be prolific”

@neilatkins2

Valerien Ismael will be wanting to add some quality additions to his squad this summer if the Baggies are to make an immediate return back into the Premier League.

To kick off this quiz on West Bromwich Albion's 2019/20 season, how many points did the Baggies end the 2019/20 Championship campaign with?

Diagne was brought in on a short-term loan deal alongside Okay Yokuslu but neither were able to help keep West Brom in the Premier League as they finished 19th.

If Galatasary are wanting close to £6 million for Diagne, then Ismael could be better off looking elsewhere with the striker only managing 1.6 shots per game last campaign.
