Stoke City

West Brom and Stoke City are circling Sheffield Wednesday star Barry Bannan for three clear reasons: his vision, leadership, and midfield mastery. Both clubs see him as the missing piece to elevate their squad’s creativity and resilience.

Southampton FC are open to offers for Adam Armstrong, sparking interest from Ipswich, Norwich, and Stoke. These clubs should seize the chance to bolster their squads with the dynamic forward while the opportunity lasts.

Stockport County face a challenging path to fund Nathan Lowe’s move from Stoke City, possibly resorting to tough financial decisions. The club’s ambition clashes with budget constraints in a high-stakes transfer gamble.
