Long unsure where long-term future lies

Shane Long: West Brom striker was happy with his brace against Aston Villa.

Republic of Ireland international Shane Long has bluntly admitted he doesn’t know where his long-term future lies after contract talks came to a grinding halt at West Brom.

Hull City and Stoke City are set to make bids for him in January with Long’s current stock now extremely high after his brace in Monday night’s 2-2 draw against Aston Villa took his tally to four in four games.
