Stoke City is making big moves in the transfer market this summer as they aim to strengthen their squad and push for a place in the play-offs. The club is set to secure a double coup by signing players from both Liverpool and Celtic.
One of the players set to join Stoke City is Bosun Lawal, a 21-year-old right-footed centre-back from Celtic. Lawal has been on the fringes at Celtic but is now ready to make the move to Stoke City in a deal worth around £2 million, potentially rising to £3 million with add-ons. He has been on Stoke’s radar since last year and is highly rated by the Scottish champions.
Joining Lawal at Stoke City will be Liverpool talent Lewis Koumas, an 18-year-old forward who can also play on the left wing. Koumas has signed a new deal with Liverpool before completing the move to Stoke City on a season-long loan. He is seen as a player with great potential for the future and will benefit from getting more game time at Stoke this season.
In addition to Lawal and Koumas, Stoke City is also targeting Wolves defender Ki-Jana Hoever. Hoever was close to joining Sheffield United earlier this month, but an injury saw the move fall through. Stoke City and French side Toulouse are now interested in signing the former Liverpool youngster, who has spent the last 18 months on loan at Stoke.
Stoke City’s activity in the transfer market shows their ambition and determination to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season. Fans can look forward to seeing new faces in the team and hope that these signings will help the club push for success in the Championship. With Lawal, Koumas, and potentially Hoever joining the ranks, Stoke City is building a team with a mix of youth and experience to compete at the highest level.
