Crouch on the move

The Tottenham striker Peter Crouch has been very well travelled in his illustrious career, and it seems that he is now set to join his ninth club in the next few days, with Stoke being reported as his expected destination.

Tony Pulis is famous for bringing big strong players to the Britannia Stadium, and you can’t get much bigger than the lanky Crouch, who's 6ft 7in frame would be perfect for getting on the end of Rory Delap’s long throws into the box.

According to todays Mail, Stoke have finally come to an agreement with Harry Redknapp for the double transfer of Crouch and Wilson Palacios for the sum of £15million, and Tottenham are happy to let them go after securing the services of Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City.

It seems that both players are due in Stoke for medicals on Monday, and if all goes well the transfers could be confirmed very quickly.

The departure of Palacios from White Hart Lane is expected to open the door for the arrival of Scott Parker at Tottenham next week.
