Galatasaray striker Diagne open to extending West Brom stay

Mbaye Diagne says he'd be happy to extend his stay with West Brom.

The striker is on-loan to June from Galatasaray.

He told Calciomercato: "There is hard football in the English Premier League. But I did not have difficulty getting used to it. You should always keep yourself ready and run. If I stay in West Bromwich for another year, it will not be a problem. We will look at it later."

The Senegalese played for Juventus between 2013 and 2015 and said, "I knew I would never have a place for Juve again, the level was really high and therefore I didn't want to miss my chance.

"I want to go back, I left many of my friends there. Italy is where I started to realise that football could be something for me."
