Stoke City are launching a bid for Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara.
The People says Stoke are ready to offer O'Hara an escape route from Tottenham.
Potters boss Tony Pulis is stepping up his pursuit of O'Hara after hearing that Middlesbrough had accepted a bid from West Ham United for Gary O'Neil.
O'Hara admits he needs to leave White Hart Lane for regular first team football.
