Stoke City midfielder Rod McDonald is set to join non-league Nantwich on-loan.
Nantwich manager Peter Hall admits he has had little to do with bringing the youngster to the Weaver Stadium.
Hall said: "It is a gamble. I gather Rod is a left-sided player and Stoke have high hopes for him. They want him to play at a good level and, as they play their reserve-team games here, they know it is a good place for him to come."
