Stoke City after Sorensen

Stoke City are reportedly close to signing former Sunderland and Aston Villa goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen a Premiership lifeline as they prepare for life in the Premiership.

Sorensen looked all set on a return to his homeland, Denmark, but now Tony Pulis has made a late offer for the shot stopper.

It is understood that after missing out on the signature of Scott Carson, Pulis feels that Sorensen is the next best bet; as the keeper has a wealth of top flight experience.
