Premier League Tottenham, Everton and Stoke are reported to have joined the Blues, Nottingham Forest, Leeds, Blackburn, Wigan, Rangers and Bolton in eyeing St Mirren midfielder Kenny McLean, whose contract is up at the end of the season.
Spurs and the Toffeemen are now leading the chase for the 22-year-old, according to the Scottish Sun.
