Thomas Christiansen’s Leeds United, Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United and Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa reportedly want to sign West Ham United’s Robert Snodgrass in the summer transfer window.

Robert Snodgrass may not be wanted by West Ham United, but there are a number of other clubs who are (reportedly) interested in him.

According to BBC Sport, West Ham have told Snodgrass that he can leave the Premier League outfit in the summer transfer window, either on a permanent basis or on a loan deal.

The 29-year-old winger joined the Hammers from Hull City in the January transfer window for a fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £10.2 million.

Robert Snodgrass of Leeds scores to make it 1-1 during the npower Championship match between Leeds United and Cardiff City at Elland Road on October 30, 2011 in Leeds, England.

The Scotland international failed to make a huge impact at the London Stadium in the second half of last season, and it seems that the Hammers are ready to sell him this summer.

According to The Daily Record, the former Livingston winger is wanted by Championship duo Leeds United, managed by Thomas Christiansen, and Steve Bruce’s Aston Villa.

Premier League sides Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion are also reported to be interested in the winger.

The former Leeds and Norwich City star, though, would (reportedly) prefer a move to Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle, who won automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of last season.

Robert Snodgrass of West Ham United heads towards goal during the Premier League match between Hull City and West Ham United at KCOM Stadium on April 1, 2017 in Hull, England.

“Snodgrass has been told he is surplus to requirements and is now set to move on before the transfer window closes,” states the report in The Daily Record.

“The Hammers want to recoup some cash but will consider a loan deal to get him off the wage bill. That has alerted Toon boss Rafa Benitez, with Brighton, Aston Villa and old club Leeds also interested.

“But a move to St James’ Park would appeal most with Snodgrass joining Scotland team-mate Matt Ritchie on Tyneside if a deal is sealed.”
