Some Leeds United fans want the West Bromwich Albion star.

Some Leeds United fans on Twitter would like to see the club sign West Bromwich Albion winger James McClean.

McClean has been linked with a move to Stoke City and West Brom want £6 million for the former Sunderland man, according to The Derby Telegraph.

Stoke and the Baggies will be competing with Leeds for Premier League promotion next season, after the pair were relegated from the top flight this past season.

The 29-year-old Republic of Ireland international has developed a sense of infamy in English football down the years for consistently refusing to wear a poppy on his shirt for the annual Remembrance Day commemorations.

Nevertheless, some fans of the Elland Road believe that the Derry-born winger should be an option if his proposed move to Stoke collapses.

McClean, in all likelyhood, won’t wind up in West Yorkshire, but Leeds should certainly try and sign a winger.

That’s an area where real improvement is needed next season if the Whites are to seriously challenge for promotion to the top flight.

Ezgjan Alioski, Pablo Hernandez and Samu Saiz can all play out wide, but there are also rather sub-standard options like Pawel Cibicki, Caleb Ekuban and Hadi Sacko, while Stuart Dallas is a divisive figure among supporters.
