Stoke City will be looking to improve on last season’s 17th placed finish and have been making moves this summer to strengthen the ranks.
Experienced duo Ben Gibson and Sam Gallagher have come in from Norwich City and Blackburn Rovers respectively. Highly-rated ‘keeper Viktor Johansson has also signed from recently relegated Rotherham United, along with full-back Eric-Junior Bocat from Belgian side Sint-Truiden.
Fraser Gillan, reporting on X, has said that Stoke City are in talks to bring Luke Cundle back to the club, with the midfielder very keen having enjoyed his time with the Potters.

Cundle is a favourite of manager Steven Schumacher after he signed him twice last season. He brought him to former club Plymouth Argyle before taking him with him to the Potters in January. Over the course of those two loan spells, he played 40 times and scored five goals as well as contributing seven assists from central midfield.
Good signing?
Cundle made 16 appearances for Stoke City in the second half of last season and helped the club propel themselves away from the relegation fight. Despite not contributing in terms of goals and assists as much as he did in his time at Plymouth, he was still useful for Schumacher’s men.
If the Wolves man can be brought back to the club for another season, with little financial loss, it is hard to argue that bringing him back is not a good move for the club.
