Stoke shock bid for Kluivert

There are rumours this Friday that newly promoted Premiership side Stoke City have offered out of contract striker Patrick Kluivert the opportunity to prove himself one more time in the Premiership.

Kluivert had one spell in the Premiership previously, where he played for Newcastle United.

Kluivert was released from his contract with Lille in the French Ligue 1 early, and Stoke City are readying a six month rolling contract for the Dutch international.

The former Holland international striker is looking for a contract in the region of £25,000 per week, which Stoke City are ready to match.
