Both Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion are being linked with the same two Hull City players.

Stoke City could prove themselves a thorn in West Bromwich Albion’s side once again this summer, if a report in the Telegraph is to be believed.
It’s less than a week since Stoke announced the signing of West Brom midfielder Darren Fletcher on a free transfer, and the Potters could now be about to rival their not-so-distant rivals to two of their alleged summer targets.

According to the Telegraph, Mark Hughes’ side are also keen on Sam Clucas and Harry Maguire – the Hull City duo who’ve each been linked with West Brom moves of late.
The pair impressed despite Hull’s relegation this past campaign and are said to have asked their agents to find them a club in the Premier League for next season.

However, with “plenty” of top flight sides taking a liking, it’s plausible that Stoke and West Brom could still end up empty handed.
Newly-promoted Newcastle United have been credited with an interest in both Clucas and Maguire, with the latter also linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Everton.
