Stoke City are ready to move for Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan.
The Mirror says Stoke are ready to test Sunderland's resolve to keep Gyan - and launch a £10million bid.
The losing FA Cup finalists are giving boss Tony Pulis cash for a top-class signing and can offer the Ghanaian goalscorer big wages and a crack at European football next season.
Gyan has been linked with several clubs at home and abroad in recent months.
But Stoke have the cash clout - and also took Kenwyne Jones from Sunderland when their money talked last summer.
