Several French players are currently without teams due to Girondins de Bordeaux losing its professional status and essentially disappearing.
This situation has left many promising players searching for new clubs, with teams from both England and France showing interest. Stoke City is keen to capitalize on this opportunity, as these players could be valuable additions to their squad.

Julien Vetro Is on Stoke City's Radar
Julien Vetro is an intriguing player who operates as a left winger. He had a notable performance with FC Girondins Bordeaux in previous seasons. Last season, he made his debut for the senior team, competing not only in the Coupe de France but also in Ligue 2.
He played over 23 matches last season, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist, contributing positively from the bench. Stoke City is now looking to acquire this left winger. Although there is interest, conversations seem to have not yet begun, as Vetro is attracting attention from several clubs in Ligue 1 and the EFL Championship. His young age and impressive performances have made him a valuable prospect for any team.
Multiple Championship and L1 clubs including Stoke City are interested in the signature of Julien Vetro after being released from Bordeaux.

Stoke City is expected to make some changes in the coming weeks. With a good amount of time left in the transfer window, Stoke City still aims to reinforce their midfield and potentially add another attacking player to strengthen Steve Schumacher’s squad.
It's worth noting that Stoke City has set high expectations with their performance in the two games already played this season. Bringing in additional resources could be challenging given the depth of the current squad and the valuable contributions from younger players.
