Stoke City are eyeing Malaga striker Sandro Ramirez.

The Sun says top spy Mark Cartwright saw forward Ramirez in scoring action last week — and the Potters are considering either a January swoop or a summer approach.

The 21-year-old has only just joined Malaga from Barcelona but Stoke boss Mark Hughes is seeking young strikers with the likes of Peter Crouch and Jon Walters now at the veteran stage.

Southampton are also tracking Ramirez, who can play through the middle or wide.
