Stoke City are allegedly keen on signing the Burnley forward.

Stoke City have been linked with a move for Burnley striker Sam Vokes, according to a report from the Daily Mail, and some Potters fans took to Twitter interaction to the speculation.

Stoke have experienced a challenging campaign in the Championship so far this season, and they currently sit in 15th spot in the table, eight points adrift of the play-off places.

The Potteries outfit have scored just 33 league goals this season – the joint seventh worst tally in the entire division, and Nathan Jones undoubtedly needs more fire power in the final third.

The Wales international is a strong centre-forward who excels when holding the ball up, although he is far from prolific, having scored just 95 goals in 415 career appearances, so it could be argued that he is actually not the type of striker who Stoke need.
