Stoke City chief executive Tony Scholes admits they're interested in Hull City fullback Josh Tymon.

Tymon, who was only 18 last month, has been on Stoke's radar for several months after breaking through intermittently into first-team circles on Humberside.

“He's a player we are looking at, he's a player we like," Scholes told The Sentinel. “He would fit the bill in a number of ways, not least he's a very talented young Englishman with experience in the Premier League.

“So it's fair to say he's one that would fit the bill, like a number of players, and we are looking at a number of players and a number of different options.

“He's one of a number of players we do like the look of."
