Torino 'eye Stoke City midfielder Giannelli Imbula'

Torino are reportedly interested in signing Stoke City midfielder Giannelli Imbula in the January transfer window.

Imbula, 25, became Stoke's record signing when he joined the Potters from Porto in February 2016.

The midfielder made 28 appearances during his first two seasons at the club, but was deemed surplus to requirements ahead of the 2017-18 campaign, and was subsequently sent on loan to Ligue 1 side Toulouse.

Imbula's loan spell at Toulouse could reportedly be cut short, however, after a falling-out with head coach Pascal Dupraz.

According to Tuttosport, Torino will make a move for Imbula at the start of next month, and the Potters are open to selling the former France Under-21 international for the right price.

A number of other European clubs are also believed to be closely monitoring developments.
