Stoke City keeping eye on former Barcelona striker Ivica Olic?

Stoke line up Olic to replace Walters?

Stoke City are reportedly looking at former Barcelona and Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic should Jon Walters leave the club.

Mark Hughes has been a long-time fan of the Croatian and with Walters courting interest from other clubs, there is a high chance that Olic, capped 101 times by his country, could leave current club Hamburger SV for a stint in the Premier League, according to the Stoke Sentinel.

Walters has just one year left on his contract and Championship club Norwich City are understood to have failed in a bid for the attacker.

Olic, 35, was reportedly a transfer target for Stoke in January but opted to move to Hamburg from Wolfsburg instead.
