Stoke City are close to completing a deal for Hull City youngster Josh Tymon.

The left-back has been with the Tigers since he was 12 and currently earns just £160-per-week.

The Hull-born lad has not signed a professional contract for City despite appearing for the senior side 12 times over the past 18 months.

Stoke are looking to find more youth for their ageing squad, and they've identified Tymon as a suitable - and cheap - option.

If Stoke and Tymon agree personal terms, a tribunal will then decide the compensation fee that the Potters must pay Hull.
