June 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Barry Bannan’s future at Sheffield Wednesday is hanging in the balance, and Championship clubs are circling. With his contract set to expire on June 30 and no extension signed, Stoke City are among the sides keeping a close eye on developments. The veteran midfielder, who has been a linchpin at Hillsborough for over a decade, could bring invaluable experience to a young Stoke squad—both on and off the pitch. Described as a “valuable” asset by club experts, Bannan is seen as a potential leader who could help guide the Potters through tight fixtures and nurture emerging talents, even if he’s no longer an every-game starter.

Stoke City Issued Urgent Warning as Man City Star Emerges—Ipswich Looms and Cannon’s Deal Raises the Stakes

June 28, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Stoke City are exploring a loan move for Manchester City’s rising star Divin Mubama, who impressed with 17 goals in 13 Premier League 2 games last season. With Ipswich Town also in the hunt for the 20-year-old striker, the Potters face stiff competition. Mubama, who joined City from West Ham last summer, has made only two senior appearances but scored on his debut under Pep Guardiola. FLW’s Sam Harrison believes the potential deal could shake up Stoke’s forward line, especially with young talents like Emre Tezgel and Nathan Lowe waiting in the wings. Drawing comparisons to Tom Cannon’s successful loan spell, Harrison suggests Stoke could benefit from repeating a similar formula—if the financials work out.
