Stoke rival Sunderland for Nigeria winger Michel Babatunde

Stoke City have joined Sunderland in their interest for Nigeria winger Michel Babatunde.

The Sentinel says Babatunde, aged 21, came to attention in Brazil with impressive showings against Asmir Begovic's Bosnia and then Argentina.

The winger, who has been playing his club football in Ukraine since 2011, missed out on the knock-out stages after suffering a wrist injury.

He is currently on the books of Volyn Lutsk but has been strongly linked with a move to one of Europe's big leagues over the course of the summer.
