West Brom boss Sam Allardyce aims to ease goalscoring pressure on new striker Mbaye Diagne despite hopes the Galatasaray loanee will fire Baggies to safety... and admits he wants two more signings before the window shuts

West Brom boss Sam Allardyce has moved to ease the pressure on Mbaye Diagne as the striker completed his loan move from Galatasaray.

The 29-year-old, who has scored 11 goals in Turkey this season, has joined for the rest of the campaign and becomes Allardyce's second signing at The Hawthorns after Robert Snodgrass' arrival.

Confirmation of Diagne's deal came too late for him to feature in Saturday's crucial visit of fellow strugglers Fulham.
