Middlesbrough boss Gareth Southgate has
confirmed that both defender Robert Huth and striker Tuncay Sanli
are in talks with Stoke.
The Premier League side have agreed fees for both players,
understood to amount to a total of around £11million, and the pair
are in the Potteries for talks and to undergo medicals.
Southgate said: "The two clubs have agreed a fee and Robert is
having talks with Stoke at the moment.
"Again, we have agreed a fee with Stoke City and the player
(Tuncay) is in talks with them."
Turkey international Tuncay has attracted interest from Cologne
and Birmingham in recent days but the Potters have stolen a march
on their rivals.
Pulis is a big fan of the hard-working Tuncay and will hold
talks with the 27-year-old later on Thursday with the view to
getting him signed before Saturday's game against Sunderland.
Cologne's interest in Tuncay is only on a loan basis although
their assistant boss Umit Oozat is hopeful.
"Tuncay wants to come over to Cologne and this would be a big
boost," he told Express. "You could easily sell 50,000 strips with
his name on."
