Stoke City are chasing Aruna Dindane.

The Mirror says Stoke boss Tony Pulis is in talks with £6million-rated Dindane about a sensational move to the Potteries.

Pulis wants the pacy striker, who plays alongside Didier Drogba for the Ivory Coast, and club officials flew to France yesterday in a bid to tie up the deal with Lens.

Dindane, 28, has been out injured for most of the season but now claims he is fit.

Lens are looking to move him out after being relegated and would let him go immediately.
