Stoke City are chasing Barcelona wing-back Adama Traore.

The 18-year-old winger is available for a season-long loan to further his footballing education after just 22 minutes of first-team action at Barca.

The Sentinel says Stoke are hoping last summer's signing of Marc Muniesa from Barca, someone highly regarded as a player and a person by his old club, will persuade them that the Britannia Stadium is a healthy destination for Traore.
