The Barnsley, Wigan Athletic and Millwall players seem set for moves to Stoke City.

Stoke City are close to completing the free transfer signings of Adam Davies, Nick Powell and Lee Gregory from Barnsley, Wigan Athletic and Millwall respectively, according to The Sun.

All three players are out of contract this summer and had been offered new deals.

But the lure of Stoke, a Premier League club as recently as last season, looks to have ended any hope had by Barnsley, Wigan or Millwall of keeping the trio.

Davies was recently named in the EFL and PFA League One team of the year after helping Barnsley to automatic promotion, and it is speculated his arrival could lead to the sale of Stoke’s England international, Jack Butland.

Both Powell and Gregory enjoyed successful campaigns at the other end of the pitch, scoring or making 14 goals and 17 goals for Wigan and Millwall, respectively.

Powell, in particular, was linked with a string of clubs in both England and Scotland, with the Sheffield Wednesday manager, Steve Bruce, said to have retained a strong interest in the player he signed for Hull City.

Will the Barnsley, Wigan and Millwall players prove good additions for Stoke?
