Stoke Transfers: 10 Championship Players The Potters Should Buy

10. Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)

Valuation- 7-9 Million "I guess for a club like Palace, everyone's got a price," told Palace co-owner Steve Parish to the BBC. In the Championship this is very true, every player on this list regardless of their owners desire to keep them has a price that would likely see them leave. Zaha is no exception. There has been big interest in the young centre forward, coming from clubs as big as Liverpool and Newcastle United. Stoke therefore would have to put together a very lucrative offer to snatch him away from clubs such as these. Zaha is the type of player I believe Stoke are desperate for, a pacey forward with goals to deliver. Stoke€™s major issue is their inability to score consistently, the work rate of Walters and Crouch is all well and good, but what€™s really needed is someone with real pace and talent to feed off their knock downs. Whilst Zaha would likely be near the top of my list of players Stoke should buy, his high value and the fact that he€™s unproven at the top level is likely to be enough to put Tony Pulis off. After only recently signing a long term contract, I think this highly rated youngster may spend another season in the Championship. If he proves himself then a big money signing may be not far in the horizon for this one to watch. There you have it, 10 players from the Championship who Stoke would do well to target this summer. Do you think Tony Pulis will have the foresight to sign any of the individuals mentioned? Are there any names featured here you don€™t believe are ready to make the step up to the Premier League?
