Harry Souttar is the Player The Potters Want

At just 25 years old, the Australian player is the target of several EFL Championship teams, including Stoke City. After signing Ben Gibson, it has been thought that the team now needs a young player in this position, as Gibson's experience could guide a player who will become the future of The Potters in this role.

For Harry Souttar, his minutes have been quite limited in the last season, as he only played 4 matches, totaling 188 minutes, which is concerning for the 25-year-old player. It is believed that he could be loaned out for the next season.

Souttar had great numbers during his time at Stoke City, with a significant number of matches. He played a total of 70 matches for The Potters, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists, having a quite positive stint at the club currently managed by Steve Schumacher.

It is expected that this rumor will be clarified in the coming days, as teams like Sheffield United are also interested in this 25-year-old player, and he could be a great acquisition for any EFL Championship team for the upcoming season starting in August.
