The 23-year-old forward joined the Baggies in 2017 from RB Leipzig for a fee in the region of £15m. However, he has been very disappointing for the Baggies, managing only three games. In between, he has spent loan spells at Celtic and Alaves. Last season, he featured in 31 games in La Liga, but only managed one goal and two assists for the club.

Report: Celtic in the hunt to sign 22 y/o winger in red-hot form
Celtic have shown relentless supremacy in the domestic circuit for the past nine years. With or without Rangers, no one can deny that they have been head and shoulders above the rest.

According to reports from The Sun (The print edition, 13 July, page 47), the Hoops are showing keen interest in signing Grady Diangana, who is currently on loan at West Bromwich Albion from West Ham. The report claim that the Bhoys are adm...
