Report: Stoke City join Zakaria Bakkali race

Stoke City have reportedly joined the race for PSV Eindhoven attacker Zakaria Bakkali, who is one of the most in-demand youngsters in Europe.

The 18-year-old has been with PSV since 2008 – coming through the club's youth system before making his first-team debut in 2013.

The teenager is also a full Belgian international, having made his debut for Marc Wilmot's side last year.

According to the Daily Mail, Stoke are exploring the possibility of signing the youngster, but will face competition from across Europe.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are also said to be interested.
