Stoke City on the verge of signing Oussama Assaidi for £7m
Having enjoyed a successful loan spell at the Britannia Stadium in 2013/14, winger Assaidi is ready to make the switch to the Potteries permanent, reports the Telegraph.
Manager Mark Hughes has been keen to land the Morocco international for some time and finally appears to have struck a deal to sign the 25-year-old for £7m.
Hughes briefly flirted with the idea of bringing in Nathan Redmond from Norwich City, but with the Canaries rejecting a £3.5m offer for the Englishman attention has turned back to Assaidi.
