# West Brom: Baggies eye Haris Seferovic over Diagne

**[According to SporX](https://www.sporx.com/futbol/ekstra/mbaye-diagne-satranci-transferin-kaderini-degistirebilirSXGLQ49953SXQ?sira=7), West Bromwich Albion are set to prioritise a move for Haris Seferovic over Mbaye Diagne.**

### **Baggies to move for Seferovic**

The Baggies were reportedly in talks to sign Diagne, but are said to have been put off making a move for the Galatasaray forward after learning about the terms he wanted.

As such, they are now set to prioritise a move for Seferovic instead.

### **Erratic**

Seferovic has been in good form for Benfica so far this campaign, scoring ten goals and providing three assists in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/haris-seferovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/109256)). However, throughout his career, his goalscoring record has been erratic. For example, he netted just [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/haris-seferovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/109256) times in 45 games last term, but during the 18/19 term, he struck [27](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/haris-seferovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/109256) times in 51 matches.

Diagne, meanwhile, has far more of a solid track record. He has [11](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/271966) in 19 games this season and has a record of [more than a goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/271966) every two matches throughout his time as a professional.

Money clearly appears to be an issue at the Hawthorns at the moment, but Seferovic is valued at £9m ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/haris-seferovic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/109256)) and has [three more years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/haris-seferovic/profil/spieler/109256) left on his contract in Portugal – he could well cost the club a considerable sum. Either way, the Baggies need a striker after scoring just 15 times in the Premier League so far this term ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/premier-league-table)) – they need to get a deal done quickly.
