Football Insider suggests that Clucas would be available for £3million, should Baggies choose to sign him. However, judging by the reactions from Baggies fans, many would be against the signing, with some supporters questioning his age.
The West Brom target played 24 times, with 18 starts for Stoke City last season, scoring twice and assisting on three occasions, managing a WhoScored rating of 6.81/10.
Clucas is versatile and can play numerous positions, as a left-back, left-midfielder, or in the centre of midfield. The 30-year-old would provide some good Championship experience for the Baggies, who are still searching for a new manager, with Clucas having made 141 second-tier appearances in the duration of his career so far.
With the reported price being just £3 million, Stoke would be selling Clucas for about half the price they bought him for three years ago, with the Potters buying him from Swansea City for around £6 million.
