Sam Allardyce is looking to add depth to his attacking ranks.
The Baggies have managed to score only 15 goals this season, and signing a striker is a top priority for them.
Diagne is a vastly experienced player who has impressed in the Turkish league in the last few years.
He scored 32 goals in 36 appearances for Kasimpasa before joining Galatasaray.
At Gala, he has managed 22 goals in 39 games. In between, he spent time on loan at Club Brugge.
The Baggies are 19th in the Premier League table with only 11 points on board.
Allardyce is also looking to sign an attacking midfielder this month, and the Baggies have been linked with a move for Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard.
