da bet7: The Mirror are reporting that Stoke City are on the verge of bringing Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko back to the Premier League.
da betcris: Tony Pulis has identified the former Liverpool enforcer as the man who can add an extra bite to his midfield as prepares to lead the Potters into Europe.
Stoke qualified for the Europa League after reaching the FA Cup final last season and Pulis has set about assembling a squad capable of holding it’s own in the competition.
The Mali international would bring bags of European experience and a tenacious style of play well fitted to the Potters system.
He signed for Juventus for £8 million in 2008 but they are prepared to sell him after he dropped down the pecking order in Turin.
Manager Antonio Conte keen to offload the 26-year-old meaning Stoke could wrap up a deal before the end of the month.
The Potters do have concerns over the player’s physical state after a knee injury in February ruled him out for the rest of the season.
A thorough medical examination would be required to rule out any underlying problems.
There is still interest in the player from around Europe with Hamburg, Paris Saint Germain, Villarreal and Real Sociedad all chasing his signature.
Stoke will have to move quickly if they want to bring the player to the Britannia Stadium although it seems a move back to England is Sissoko’s preferred choice.
