Stoke City are closing in on Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Wilson Palacios with the club ready to make an acceptable bid this week.
The 27 year old has been linked with a move away this summer although his most likely destination was believe to that of a side in the Italian Serie A. Whilst Stoke may not conjure up the same sort of setting than somewhere in Italy, the Potters consider Palacios a key player they would like to have on their books for the upcoming season.
The former Wigan midfielder could be interested in a switch back up North though although Stoke will have to make an offer expected to be above £8m for the Honduran’s services.
