# Crystal Palace: Fans fume at Mbaye Diagne links

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have hit out at the club’s reported interest in West Brom loanee Mbaye Diagne.**

According to a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/crystal-palace-and-brighton-want-west-brom-loan-star-diagne/), who have been informed by a recruitment source, both Palace and rivals Brighton are monitoring the 29-year-old ahead of the summer window.

They have shortlisted the [Senegal international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/profil/spieler/271966) as a potential attacking addition, with Diagne of course set to return to Turkish giants Galatasaray this summer following his temporary stay at The Hawthorns.

Sam Allardyce brought the forward to the [Premier League in January](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/transfers/spieler/271966), with Diagne scoring [three times in 14 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdaten/spieler/271966) since then.

The [report](https://www.footballinsider247.com/crystal-palace-and-brighton-want-west-brom-loan-star-diagne/) claims a permanent move to the Baggies looks to be out of the window due to their likely relegation, with the striker still under contract with [Galatasaray until 2023](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/profil/spieler/271966).
