Stoke City have launched a bid for Galatasaray midfielder Badou Ndiaye.

The Daily Mail says the Potters have made a £14million bid for Ndiaye.

The Senegal international was left out of Saturday's game against Osmanlispor after pleading with the club management to let him leave amid interest from Stoke and other clubs.

A Galatasaray statement read: "Badou Ndiaye has received offers from clubs overseas.

"Badou has been removed from the squad set to face Osmanlispor as he is currently distracted from his on field duties by the transfer talks."
