Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic is in England this weekend to complete a move to Stoke City.

The Sentinel says manager Mark Hughes met with Bojan at Cheshire's Rookery Hall hotel yesterday for fruitful discussions about a loan move.

He was then given the red-carpet treatment by club officials before jetting back to Spain.

Stoke anticipate an answer to their offer some time next week after he has discussed his future with his family back home.
