Stoke City are already laying the foundations for next season under Nathan Jones.
The Potters have released high earners like Charlie Adam and Darren Fletcher and are in the hunt for some new signings.
They are set to beat Sheffield Wednesday to the signing of Wigan Athletic midfielder Nick Powell, as reported by The72, but have more signings on their radar. Here are three-
Adam Davies, Barnsley
Jack Butland is expected to move back to the Premier League with the likes of Crystal Palace and AFC Bournemouth linked over recent weeks. Davies, who is a Wales international, is out of contract at Barnsley next month and is being tipped as his replacement.
The 26-year-old shot stopper has impressed for the Tykes over recent seasons and helped them gain promotion from League One in the last campaign.
Lee Gregory, Millwall
Another potential free agent signing, Gregory is leaving Millwall after five years at The Den and could be on his way to the Bet365 Stadium.
He has scored 77 goals in 238 games altoeghter for the Lions and would offer Stoke more depth and options in the attacking department.
Matt Clarke, Portsmouth
The 22-year-old will be a man in-demand this summer after Pompey’s failure to gain promotion from League One. Stoke have been linked with a summer move for him and he would be ideal for Jones’ side.
He has already racked up just under 200 games so far in his career. The 6ft 1inc defender is comfortable on the ball, runs out from the back and looks a real talent.
