Ciaran Clark, a former defender for Newcastle United, is very certain to accept a free transfer offer from Stoke City, claims journalist Alan Nixon.
Following his release from Newcastle United, the experienced defender is now a free agent and searching for a new team to help him restart his career.
The Potters have expressed a strong interest in adding him to their ranks, and he has other suitors in the Championship.
Although manager Alex Neil has been busy signing players throughout summer, he believes his squad needs one more defender going forward.
Neil is optimistic that the six-foot-one-inch defender will be able to provide his defense with the kind of unity he needs because Stoke has already given up six goals in their first five league games.
The player is almost ready to agree to terms and join the Stoke City team.
Given his versatility and ability to play left back, Clark might give the Stoke City team more options.
He spent the previous season on loan with Sheffield United, where he struggled and only managed to play in ten Championship games.
