Stoke City have expressed interest in Hoffenheim attacker Prince Tagoe.
The Potters have turned to Tagoe after his teammate Demba Ba failed a medical last week.
Ghana international Tagoe has been with Hoffenheim for 18 months, having spent much of his senior career in the Middle East.
The 24 year-old, at 6ft 2, would arrive at Stoke as competition for Kenwyne Jones.
