The Sunday Mirror says Tony Pulis has got the backing of his dressing room to sign Newcastle’s controversial midfielder Joey Barton.
Stoke boss Pulis will make a fresh move this week to sign the 28-year-old who was told he could leave St James’ Park on a free following his Twitter row.
With the transfer deadline approaching, Pulis still wants to beef up his midfield – and bring in another striker – to make his squad strong enough to deal with Stoke’s Europa League and Premier League fixture list .
Experienced defender Danny Higginbotham said: “I don’t know about the manager’s plans, but I do know that Joey is a very good player.
“He is one of those who are awful to play against because he’s always in the thick of the game, and to have him as a team-mate would be something that a lot of players would be very happy about.”
