Mikkel Beckmann to Stoke?

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has made Randers striker Mikkel Beckmann one of his targets once the World Cup has finished. Beckmann was a surprise entry in Denmark's World Cup squad this summer.

At Randers, Beckmann has been excellent in the last two seasons and has seen a number of scouts from Italy, England and Holland monitor his progress.

Stoke are interested in the forward, who can also play on the wing, as his asking price is relatively low at only 2 million GBP.
