Grady Diangana has been one of the most impressive loanees for West Ham this season, and Manuel Pellegrini has seemingly be keeping watch.
It is something that we are considering at the moment but no final decision has been made https://t.co/9unV8EY9RC

Reliable West Ham ITK ExWHUemployee has claimed that the Hammers are considering recalling Diangana in the January transfer window following an excellent start to life in the Championship with West Brom, with stats from Transfermarkt showing that the 21-year-old has already bagged four goals and registered three assists.
Should Diangana be recalled this January?
Yes
No
With a decent goal-contribution record as well as plenty of first-team football, lots of West Ham fans on social media were not happy about Diangana potentially returning to the London Stadium early given how much the winger is developing under Slaven Bilic at the Hawthorns.
Here’s what some West Ham fans had to say about the prospect of Diangana returning to the club before the end of his loan spell with West Brom, with the majority of supporters keen on the youngster remaining with the Championship side…
Would be an incredibly stupid decision if we did – the guys getting game time and is improving every week, and we’re going to bring him back to leave him on the bench/not include him at all – there’s no point to it

leave him there, why bring him back to just sit on the bench, let him carry on learning for the rest of the season then bring him home

Yeah I agree just depends on our injuries tbh

Leave him there to develop for the season, if we recall him he will be stuck on the bench
— John Barrett (@johnbarrett75) November 1, 2019
The overwhelming response was that supporters wanted Diangana to remain at West Brom where he would play regular first-team football…
Would be a terrible decision and incredibly short sighted when he’s doing so well at WBA..

Mixed feelings. I really want another hungry youngster in that starting 11. Especially a forward but like most have been saying he’s doing well learning where he is. Pellegrini really needs to start picking Holland for the bench just to offer some pace off the bench.

Really hope we don’t, would be massively unfair to the lad to take him away from first team football to play at best second choice

Hope it doesn’t happen, he’s building his confidence and flying. Wouldn’t want him coming back just to sit in the bench

Diangana has been an important player for West Brom this season, though whether or not the youngster will experience the same level first-team football back at West Ham remains a mystery.
