# West Brom: Fans react to club’s Mbaye Diagne post

**West Brom took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WBA/status/1453630228316790785) on Thursday to wish former striker Mbaye Diagne a happy birthday.**

And a number of Baggies fans were quick to flock to the official post, with some even throwing in the suggestion of bringing him back to The Hawthorns in the New Year.

West Brom signed the [Senegal international](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/profil/spieler/271966) back in [January](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11698/12202677/mbaye-diagne-west-brom-sign-galatasaray-striker-on-loan-until-end-of-the-season) on loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy.

Unfortunately, Diagne couldn’t prevent the Baggies from returning straight back to the Championship, scoring [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdaten/spieler/271966) times in [16](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdaten/spieler/271966) appearances, so the permanent clause wasn’t activated.

He’s now back with Galatasaray, where he has found the back of the net on [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdaten/spieler/271966) occasions in [14](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mbaye-diagne/leistungsdaten/spieler/271966) games, whereas West Brom, now managed by Valerien Ismael, sit [third](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table) in the second tier.
