Stoke City Fail With Two Offers For Target

Stoke City have failed with two offers to sign a striker they are chasing, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Steven Schumacher’s Potters want increased firepower ahead of the new season and have zeroed in on one of their Championship rivals for a solution.

The man that Stoke are trying to bring to the Potteries is Blackburn Rovers hitman Sam Gallagher.

The 28-year-old was subject to interest from Ipswich Town in the January transfer window, but Blackburn kept hold of him.
