Badou Ndiaye’s people remain optimistic that his move to Stoke from Galatasaray will be completed today.
A £15 Million fee is agree, personal terms are sorted and the Senegal international has been in Stoke since yesterday.
The complication is a work permit as Ndiaye hasn’t played enough international games over the last two years.
But my understanding from the player’s side is that they’re expecting it to be worked out.
They’re even talking about it being sorted this afternoon.
Ndiaye would certainly add energy to the Stoke midfield. He’s impressed in Turkey.
