Mame Biram Diouf remains on the transfer radar of Stoke City according to reports.
The 26-year Senegalese striker will become a free agent when his contract with German club Hannover expires at the end of June .
Diouf has been a target for the Potters for some time now and the fact he is available for nothing this summer will prompt the Staffordshire club to go after him without too much financial concern.
The former Molde and Blackburn Rovers forward joined Hannover from Manchester United in January 2012 and scored 35 goals in 71 appearances in all competitions for Die Roten.
