Leeds United have joined Bolton Wanderers in the race to sign Aberdeen forward Niall McGinn, according to the Press and Journal.
McGinn, 27, can play as a winger or a striker and has reportedly been identified as a wide option to suit Uwe Rosler’s ideal 4-3-3 formation.
Having played 45 games in all competitions this season, including the Scottish Premiership and Europa League qualifiers, McGinn scored on 7 occasions and contributed 17 assists.
In addition to his club career, McGinn has represented Northern Ireland at an international level 31 times, his record at this level is 3 goals and 2 assists.
Leeds boss Uwe Rosler has worked with the Northern Irish forward previously, with McGinn joining Brentford on loan for the 2011/12 season. His record at Brentford saw him score 5 goals and help out with 4 assists.
McGinn joins a number of other players linked with the Whites in recent days. Manchester City forward Pozo has been reported as a target for Rosler, alongside another Manchester City youngster Brandon Barker. In addition to these names, Wigan’s Chris McCann has also been linked with a move to Elland Road and was a player who Rosler worked with at Wigan.
