Report: Stoke City on brink of signing Hannover striker Joselu

Stoke City are confident of signing Hannover striker Joselu within the next few days, according to reports.

The former Real Madrid youth player scored eight Bundesliga goals last season, and joined Hannover to replace Mame Biram Diouf, who moved to Stoke on a free transfer last year.

However, The Sentinel claims that the Potters have agreed a four-year deal with the Spaniard, in a move which will cost the club approximately £7.2m in fee and salary.

Stoke have reportedly kept the deal under wraps in order to prevent any other club from competing for his signature.

Joselu would become the third Spaniard at the club, alongside Marc Muniesa and Bojan Krkic.
