However, he only started five Premier League matches last season. 


Meanwhile, Stoke defender Philipp Wollscheid is talking to French side Metz.

Wollscheid joined the Potters from Mainz in 2015, initially on loan in January before signing permanently in May.

He has started 44 Premier League games, but his only appearance this season came in the League Cup and Stoke are keen to offload him before the deadline.
