West Bromwich Albion ace Grady Diangana and Baggies cult hero Nigel Quashie have wished Filip Krovinovic well after his departure from The Hawthorns on Friday.

The Croatian midfielder was on loan at West Brom from Benfica, but he has now left the Baggies and linked up with Championship side Nottingham Forest.

Krovinovic was Slaven Bilic’s first signing at The Hawthorns in 2019, and played a big role in the club’s promotion back to the Premier League.

He made 40 Championship appearances, scoring three goals and registering four assists, and West Brom eagerly signed him up on loan again.

This season, meanwhile, Krovinovic made 11 appearances in the top flight.

However, a combination of Bilic’s departure and subsequent little game time under Sam Allardyce meant the decision was reached by all parties to bring to an end his loan prematurely.

Along with plenty of West Brom fans, Diangana and Quashie took to Twitter to wish Krovinovic all the best:

All the best hermano ♥️
