In this transfer window, The Potters have been actively searching for a solution to their forward position for the upcoming season. This is especially crucial after the misfortune of Sam Gallagher, who was injured in his first preseason game after joining Stoke City.
This injury has been a significant issue for the club, and it is reported that they might be looking for another forward to strengthen their squad. Stoke City is exploring options in the Premier League and is likely already in talks with Fulham.

Jay Stansfield could be on his way to Stoke City
The 21-year-old forward is showing great potential, which has piqued Stoke City’s interest. After an impressive season with Birmingham City, where he played 47 matches, scored 13 goals, and provided 3 assists, Stansfield has attracted attention from The Potters. Rumors suggest that manager Steve Schumacher is already in negotiations with Fulham over this talented English forward.
However, an appealing factor for the Premier League player is that he doesn’t seem to have a guaranteed place at Fulham, as he has been loaned out several times in the past two years. This might encourage him to consider a permanent move, with Stoke City as a potential destination.
Now, we await the final moves Stoke City will make in this transfer window. While the team started the EFL Championship season with a solid win against Coventry City, they aim to maintain this momentum and establish themselves as one of the top teams in the league this season.
We will see what additional signings Stoke City might make and how Steve Schumacher manages the squad throughout the season.
