Stoke City close in on Michael Kightly deal?

Stoke City are reportedly close to agreeing a fee for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Michael Kightly.

Potters boss Tony Pulis likes his teams to include two conventional wide men, but he was unable to achieve this during large parts of last season due to the injury problems of Matthew Etherington and Jermaine Pennant.

Pulis wants to add a third winger to his ranks at the Britannia Stadium and a £2m deal for Kightly is imminent, according to The Mirror.

Kightly, 26, is currently contracted to Wolves until June 2013.
