# West Brom: Baggies linked with Famara Diedhiou move

**West Brom are reportedly interested in signing former Bristol City striker Famara Diedhiou, following his exit from the club last week.**

### The Lowdown: Diedhiou leaves Bristol City

The 28-year-old enjoyed a good season in 2020/21, scoring [eight Championship goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/236503/Show/Famara-Di%C3%A9dhiou) for City and helping them to a 19th-place finish as they steered clear of relegation.

Diedhiou’s contract [expired](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/famara-diedhiou/profil/spieler/237125) on July 1st, however, and with a new deal not agreed, he is now a free agent and on the lookout for a new club.

### The Latest: West Brom linked with move

According to [*The Bristol Post*](https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-qa-live-robins-5611742) \[via [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/1717244-west-brom-transfer-rumours-baggies-linked-with-bargain-swoop-for-28yearold-forward)\], the striker is now a target for West Brom, with Valerien Ismael potentially eyeing up a move for him.

An unnamed Turkish club are also interested in signing the Senegalese ace, so the Baggies could face competition for his signature during the summer transfer window.

### The Verdict: Experienced squad addition

Diedhiou could be a good signing for West Brom, considering he [scored 51 goals in 169 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/famara-diedhiou/alletore/spieler/237125) for City, 46 of those in the second tier, as well as netting [five times in 14 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/famara-diedhiou/alletore/spieler/237125) for Senegal.

The fact that he would arrive on a free transfer would make it a less risky signing, too, adding strength in depth in the attacking areas ahead of the Baggies’ promotion push in 2021/22.

While he may not necessarily come in as a regular starter – he [only started half](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/236503/Show/Famara-Di%C3%A9dhiou) of his side’s league games last season – improving the depth at Ismael’s disposal can only be a positive.
