Possible return to Stoke City
The Potters had some outstanding players last season, including Luke Cundle, who was on loan from Wolverhampton. Cundle, a talented midfielder, made a significant impact and impressed Steve Schumacher, making a permanent move possible in the coming days.
Rumors suggest that Stoke City is in talks to re-sign the 22-year-old midfielder. Despite only playing 986 minutes for Stoke City last season, Cundle made a notable contribution with 2 goals and 2 assists in 16 appearances.
Work is ongoing for Luke Cundle to return to Stoke. He is keen on the move and enjoyed his time at the club.

His performance was quite positive, and it’s believed he could offer even more to Stoke City this season. However, other English teams are also interested in Cundle. Stoke City's advantage is that the player already knows the club and enjoyed his time there, which could be beneficial for the ongoing negotiations.
We will see how this develops in the coming days as the transfer window remains open. For The Potters, securing one more signing before August 10 is crucial, and we’ll see if this becomes a reality soon.
