It appears that Stoke City's next signing will be an offensive player, as the three signings made so far have focused on the defensive side of the team. Steve Schumacher is already considering which forward to use for the upcoming season in the EFL Championship.
Rumors in this transfer window suggest that Stoke City has requested information about a player from the MLS. Currently playing for New York Red Bulls, Lewis Morgan, the 27-year-old Scottish winger, is of interest to The Potters.

Morgan has also played in European football, including a season in England with Sunderland during the 2018-2019 season. In League One with Sunderland, he played 17 matches, scored 1 goal, and made 4 assists, demonstrating his ability and familiarity with English football. Stoke City could potentially persuade him to return to compete in Europe.
However, while Stoke City might be interested in Morgan, the player is currently focused on his season with New York Red Bulls. He aims to continue competing in the MLS and is looking to extend his contract to remain with the club for several more years.
Nevertheless, these remain as rumors. The Potters are keen on signing a forward, as they aim to improve their scoring capabilities for the next season and meet the expectations of fans under the promising project led by Steve Schumacher and Chris Coyne.
