Five “marquee” Stoke signings after Hughes’ revelation

Matt Haynes | January 17, 2015

According to reports, Mark Hughes has said that Stoke City will only enter the transfer window this January to bring in “marquee signings”, similar to the quality of Bojan and Xherdan Shaqiri.

As such, Coral suggest five potential targets that Hughes may move for over the next couple of weeks, as Stoke, 7/1 with Coral to finish in the Premier League top six this season, look to challenge at the right end of the table.

Andre Ayew

Reportedly linked with a move to Sunderland, the Ghanaian who arrived at Swansea in the summer would be a great capture for Stoke. With seven Premier League goals, he would slot seamlessly into the Potters’ prolific attack which includes both Bojan and Shaqiri.

Saido Berahino

West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis has said he would sell the Baggies striker and Stoke have been linked. However, Hughes may look to move one of his forwards on before buying, with Peter Odemwingie likely to make way should there be any attacking additions.

Nathan Redmond

The 21-year-old is one of England’s brightest prospects. Highly-rated by Norwich, they are unlikely to let him go on the cheap, though should Hughes see his potential, he could be a superb signing in time for the Potters.
