Stoke City manager Mark Hughes admits interest in Junior Hoilett

The Potters manager Mark Hughes has expressed his interest in signing Queens Park Rangers' winger Junior Hoilett.

Mark Hughes, who worked with the talented winger during his managerial spells at Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers, has made just two signings to his squad since succeeding Tony Pulis in May.

The Welshman has conceded that Hoilett would be the perfect buy for the Potters.


Hughes told The Sentinel : "Junior is a very good player and somebody I have worked with before.


"He's obviously started the season off well, but I'm not sure if he's available. If we are able to bring in players of that quality, we will try and do that. But we have got to be patient.

"Ideally, you want your targets in through the door a couple of weeks before the season starts, but that hasn't been possible for whatever reason and there is enough time to get players in."
