West Bromwich Albion are stepping up their interest in Stoke City midfielder Sam Clucas.

The Baggies are eager to build a squad that can immediately gain promotion back to the Premier League.

Clucas, who is in the final year of his contract at Stoke, will only be sold if a bid of at least £3 million arrives, per Football Insider.

Another who is set to depart Stoke City is midfielder Ryan Woods, who is close to agreeing a move to Birmingham City.

Stoke are trimming their wage bill as they prepare for the upcoming Championship season.
