West Bromwich Albion are plotting a move for Leeds United winger Kemar Roofe this summer. According to recent reports, the Baggies are hoping to secure the services of the English wide man during this summer transfer window. The 25-year-old was the Peacocks’ top-scorer in the Skybet Championship last season and his outstanding contributions for Leeds has not gone unnoticed by other clubs.
Some sources are now claiming that the West Midlands side are looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season and Roofe fits the bill perfectly. The English talent had scored 14 goals in 39 matches for the West Yorkshire club in the last campaign and can be considered as one of the most potent attacking talents in the second tier of English football.
If Marcelo Bielsa ends up losing his prized asset this summer, let’s take a look at three options for the Peacocks boss to consider in this post-season.
Thierry Ambrose
The Dutch Eredivisie prospect has been in a rich vein of form for NAC Breda last season and is exactly the kind of talent who could thrive under the guidance of Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road. The French sensation has made 31 appearances for Breda in the last campaign, finding the back of the net 10 times while creating 6 assists across all competitions. At the mere age of 21, Ambrose has massive potential to be nurtured into a future world-beater in English football.
Ross McCormack
If the Yorkshire giants are looking to recruit someone who can be an immediate solution, they can definitely consider tabling a bid for the services of this 31-year-old Scottish forward. The Championship talent has recently had a loan spell at A-League’s Melbourne City and returned to Aston Villa back in January. McCormack has put in some scintillating performances for the Australian outfit and had registered 14 goals in 19 matches during the last edition of the A-League. The Villa outcast also has a wealth of experience in English and Scottish football which makes him a perfect candidate to take up the goal-scoring duties at Elland Road next term.

Óscar Estupiñán
The 21-year-old sensation had put in some eye-catching performances for Vitória Guimarães SC during the course of the previous campaign. The Colombian talent had scored 11 goals and provided 7 assists in 33 matches for the Portuguese outfit last season. Bielsa can definitely bolster his attacking options by making a move for the South American youngster in the near future. Just like Roofe, he can operate in multiple positions across the frontline which makes him a perfect fit for the Peacocks.
