Stoke City are in for an important summer transfer market as they look to make meaningful progress up the Championship table for the first time. SCFC have had a dismal seven years since their drop from the Premier League and had a close shave with relegation last season.
Mark Robins is out to put a stop to that trend, and the Potters would appear to be backing him in the transfer market.

Three new faces have come through the doors so far this summer, and it seems a fourth is on the cards.
Writing on his Patreon, reporter Alan Nixon has said that Stoke City have pounced to agree a deal with free agent veteran Aaron Cresswell. The 35-year-old was also eyed by Wrexham, but they have ‘dithered’ over offering him a deal, opening the door for SCFC to swoop in.
Various sources have since confirmed Cresswell is expected to join the Potters, though Stoke on Trent Live say a deal is not done yet.
TalkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has said he will sign on a one-year deal with an option to extend by a further 12 months. He also adds that Norwich City were interested in Cresswell too.
