The Potters midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer

Stoke City’s preparations for the 2024/25 Championship season will be well underway as they look to improve on an underwhelming season in Staffordshire.

The Potters ended the campaign in 17th place and six points clear of the relegation zone, but the pressure on manager, Steven Schumacher, will remain as they look to push up the second tier standings during his first full season in charge.

With the summer transfer window in full swing and the club’s announcement of their retained list, key areas of the squad will be targeted to ensure a successful upcoming term.

But one of Stoke’s top performers has been the subject of Premier League interest as the rumour mill continues to spin, with the possibility of losing a player who signed a four-year deal last year seemingly likely.
