Leeds United fans have looked into the potential of signing Southampton striker Shane Long on a free transfer this summer.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side sit top of the Championship table as things stand and are on the verge of an automatic promotion to the Premier League.
A return to England’s top flight will undoubtedly see the Argentine tactician look to bolster his attacking options this summer, having relied heavily on Patrick Bamford this term.

Long, who will see his contract at St. Marys stadium come to an end when the football season finishes, has now been discussed by fans.
The Republic of Ireland frontman has struggled to find regular goalscoring form this season, netting just two goals in 19 league appearances. Having signed for the Saints in 2014 for a transfer fee of £12m, has spent the last six years with the club.
Reacting to a question from one fan via Facebook group All Leeds Aren’t We!!!, fans have given an opinion on a potential move for Long…
Dylan Shepherd: 27 goals in 4 years, ye why not
Paul Crooks: We have to get promoted first
Mark O’Connor: No.
Reece Johnston: Don’t think he is worth the wages tbh
James Duke: Bit of experience up top (with something more about them) Pukki or Glen Murray for me
Kevin McMullan: Go get Pukki. It is a no brainer
Jamie Jones: I’d rather sign Joe Exotic
Sol Cameron: He is useless. He is meant to be a striker but can’t get 5 goals a season
Do you think Long would be a good addition at Elland Road? Let us know in the comments section below….
