Wigan winger McClean in fresh NYRB link

James McClean is again being linked with a potential move to Major League Soccer.

The 26-year old Wigan Athletic winger flew to New York on the weekend and has been in the city since.

McClean, who has 25 caps for the Republic of Ireland, has previously been linked with Orlando City SC and New York Red Bulls and his presence in the Big Apple has again sparked rumours of a possible move to the Red Bull Arena.

The former Sunderland man is contracted at Wigan until the summer of 2016 but is expected to leave the DW Stadium after the Latics dropped down to England's League One after a tough campaign in the Championship.

McClean finished the season as Wigan's top scorer and was named the club's Player of the Year at the end of April.
