Trio linked with loan moves

Stoke City chairman Peter coats has hinted that the likes of Andy Griffin and Leon Cort could still go out on loan.

The Potters already have eight players out on loan at the moment, with Dave Kitson and Michael Tonge joining the ever growing list of players temporarily away from the Britannia Stadium last week.

Coates has hinted that Griffin, Cort and Tom Soares could all leave the club on loan before the emergency loan window shuts on Thursday.

All three players will be in action for Stoke's reserves on Tuesday night against West Ham, giving any interested parties one final look at the trio before the window shuts and they are forced to stay at the club until January 1.
