Lazio have allegedly identified West Brom player Grady Diangana as a possible successor to Felipe Anderson.
This weekend, the seasoned Brazilian will make his final appearance for Biancocelesti against Sassuolo, bringing his second spell in the Italian city to a conclusion. The 31-year-old has already agreed to join Palmeieras on a free transfer, leaving the club with a significant need to fill in the attacking trident.
So, according to LazioNews24, the Italian team has identified Diangana as a potential successor. The 26-year-old is a West Ham United youth product who has played for West Bromwich Albion since 2019.

This season, the Congolese provided seven goals and eight assists in 38 English Championship outings. He helped his team go to the promotion playoffs, but they were defeated by Southampton in the semi-finals.
Diangana, who is left-footed, loves to play on the right side of the attacking trident as an inverted winger. However, he can also play on the opposing wing or as an attacking midfielder. The player’s contract with West Brom will expire in 2025, thus he may be available at a reasonable price.
Diangana has spent his whole career in England, representing the Three Lions at the U20 and U21 levels. However, at the senior level, he declared for his country of origin, becoming a DR Congo international in 2023.
