Stoke City swoop for Liverpool target

Stoke City are reportedly attempting to scupper Liverpool's plans to sign Crystal Palace teen Wilfried Zaha.

The Potters had an offer for the frontman rejected in the summer, but Tony Pulis has decided to launch a £3m bid after watching the 19-year-old play against Barnsley on Tuesday, according to The Mirror.

While Liverpool are also believed to be interested in the starlet, it is understood that Palace are keen to keep hold of Zaha.

Stoke are also thought to be keeping tabs on Blackburn Rovers forward Junior Hoilett.
