Orlando City SC are believed to be close to signing USA international Brek Shea.
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the Lions are closing in on the 24-year old winger who is currently contracted with Premier League club Stoke City.
Former FC Dallas star Shea has struggled for game time with the Potters since arriving in Staffordshire in January 2013 and was subsequently loaned to Barnsley and Birmingham City earlier this year.
Rumours are stating that MLS expansion franchise Orlando are showing considerable interest in Shea who trained with the club during the summer and could complete the deal very soon.
