Stoke City on cusp of Adama Traore deal?

Barcelona youngster Adama Traore has reportedly held talks with Stoke City representatives over a potential summer switch.

The 19-year-old has been linked with the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa in recent days, following an impressive spell with the Malian national side at the Under-20 World Cup finals in New Zealand earlier in the summer.

The Mail claims that the Potters had invited Traore for a dinner last night, and is due to spend a day at the club's training ground.

Traore could be Stoke's fifth recruit from Barca, having already brought in the likes of Bojan Krkic, Ibrahim Afellay, Marc Muniesa and Moha El Quriachi.
