Stoke City are closing in on a deal for Liverpool winger Oussama Assaidi.
The Daily Telegraph says Potters boss Mark Hughes is finally set to seal a deal he has been chasing all summer for the 25-year-old Liverpool winger.
Assaidi spent last season on loan at the Britannia Stadium and it is suggested the Potters would pay £4.5m up front, rising to £7m, for his signature.
