AJAX and Celtic are among the clubs chasing Grady Diangana this summer with West Ham fighting a battle to convince him to stay at the club.
Diangana, 22, has been a huge hit on loan at West Brom this season and played a key role in the club’s bid to secure automatic promotion back to the Premier League.

The Hammers want the winger back in their squad next season but the winger fears a lack of opportunities with so many players in similar positions at the London Stadium.
SunSport understands Diangana believes it’s vital for his development to continue playing regularly.
And that means he may look to leave West Ham on a permanent basis.
Dutch giants Ajax have made their interest known after seeing his West Brom performances this season while Celtic scouts have also been impressed.
The Baggies would also like to make Diangana’s move to the Hawthorns permanent should they seal promotion, though the Hammers would be looking for a fee of £15m-£20m for their rising academy star.
But there is also interest from other Premier League sides with Everton and Newcastle monitoring his progress.
Diangana has racked up seven goals and six assists in 27 appearances for Slaven Bilic’s side in all competitions this term.

And the forward has bounced back from a hamstring injury that put him out of action in January up until football’s suspension in March.
The 22-year-old, who was a favourite of former West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini, has already played 17 times for the Hammers in the top flight.
And he’s also made one appearance for England’s Under-21 team.
