Stoke City boss Tony Pulis admits stadium expansion is on the agenda.

He said: "At the moment we are about to improve the training ground and that will be an enormous benefit for years to come.

"We are also trying to improve our scouting so we are more organised and cuter in trying to gain a better understanding of markets outside England.

"All that will take a couple of years. If the club is still progressing by the third year, then there will be no option but to increase the capacity of our ground to cope with demand."
