Lukman Haruna to Stoke?

Stoke City are one of the many clubs lining up to capitalize on Monaco's relegation from Ligue 1 this year; making a move for star defensive midfielder Lukman Haruna in a £4 million move.

Haruna is not willing to play next year in Ligue 2 and has told his colleagues at Monaco that he would like to move to England.

Arsenal have also been interested in Haruna, but Tony Pulis is believed to be putting the finishing touches to an offer for the player.

Haruna is a tough tacking holding midfielder that Pulis believes would fit in well with the current style of his Stoke City side.
