Peter Crouch is expected to be sold by Tottenham this week.
The Mail on Sunday says Crouch is set to play his last game for Tottenham as manager Harry Redknapp closes in on Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayor.
Stoke are poised to make £10million Crouch the club's record signing in a deal that would also see Wilson Palacios go to the Britannia Stadium.
The deal hinges on Palacios agreeing terms with Stoke but with Redknapp already lining up Real Madrid's Lassana Diarra, Spurs hope that will be a formality.
