Stoke City


Norwegian sources very close to Henning Berg have today disclosed that the Blackburn manager is concerned he will lose Jordan Rhodes in the January transfer window.

Favourites to land the former Huddersfield Town striker are Stoke City.  Tony Pulis is extremely keen to bolster his fire-power and he has earmarked Rhodes as his number 1 target in January.

Rhodes, who only signed for Rovers in the summer of this year, has impressed Pulis this past month and the Stoke City manager sees him as a ready made striker that can make an instant impact in the Premier League.

Blackburn Rovers will try hard to keep their forward but club insiders are fearful if pursued he would opt to sign for the Premier League side.

A fee in the region of £9m is the minimum for Blackburn to open negotiations, but it may take a bid in the region of £10.5m to get Pulis his man.

Stoke are fully prepared to break their current transfer record and see Rhodes as a perfect addition to the already popular Crouch.
