West Ham United’s Robert Snodgrass and Burnley’s Aaron Lennon are former Leeds United players.

Aaron Lennon started his professional club football career at Leeds United before making the move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2005.

Now at Burnley, the England international winger has been linked with a move back to Elland Road.

According to The Sun, Leeds want to sign the 31-year-old winger in the summer of 2019.

The British tabloid has claimed that Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa is doing background checks on Lennon, but he would be better off looking at West Ham United winger Robert Snodgrass instead.

Lennon has had injury issues, and the Englishman has not been at the top of his game for a while now.

On the other hand, Snodgrass is a rejuvenated figure at West Ham and has established himself as an important figure in manager Manuel Pellegrini’s side this season following his loan spell at Aston Villa in the Championship during the 2017-18 campaign.

Also 31 years of age, the Scotland international winger has made 18 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for West Ham so far this season, scoring two goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

During the 2017-18 campaign, Snodgrass made 41 starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for Villa, scoring seven goals and providing 14 assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
