Stoke City are continuing their recruitment drive despite not having a first-team manager.

The Potters are yet to replace Mark Hughes, who was sacked following an embarrassing FA Cup loss to Coventry last Saturday.

Full-backs Moussa Niakate and Moritz Bauer made the switch to Staffordshire this week.

According to Sky Sports, Stoke have now turned their attention to Galatasaray midfielder Badou Ndiaye.

The 27-year-old has started every game for the Turkish giants this season bar one, in which he was suspended.

A Senegal international, Ndiaye played a pivotal role in helping his country qualify for the 2018 World Cup.
