Stoke are closing in on Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios for a club record fee of £8million.
The Honduras international did not play against Manchester United on Monday night because of injury but Stoke manager Tony Pulis admitted he is trying to bring the player to the Britannia stadium.
He said: ‘We haven’t had Palacios in our club to tell us whether he’s fit, injured or whatever.
‘But fingers crossed we will get some new players in. We know we’ve got to get some in to give the squad a lift. I’m not getting desperate – I’m a cool head.’
Palacios would provide competition for Rory Delap and Glenn Whelan in the centre of the Stoke midfield.
Having joined Spurs from Wigan for £12m in Jan 2009, he has found first-team opportunities at White Hart Lane limited this year.
GO GET HIM TONE!
