Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion to battle for Bosnian defender?

Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion could reportedly become involved in a summer battle for the services of Ermin Bicakcic.

It is believed that the Bosnian defender will be on the move in the near future, having turned down Hoffenheim's offer of a new contract.

According to The Sentinel, who have cited a report in Germany, news of the 26-year-old's potential availability has captured the attention of the two Premier League clubs.

Bicakcic started 18 of Hoffenheim's 34 Bundesliga fixtures last season.
