Rumours are swirling around Liam Millar, with Stoke reportedly showing interest in the midfielder currently plying his trade at Hull. With both teams looking to strengthen their squads, the move could have a massive impact on their seasons going forward. Stoke have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Middlesbrough and Birmingham are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. In season 26/27, Stoke are conceding 3.0 goals per game (9 in 3 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Liam Millar would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Hull continue to be linked with Josha Vagnoman, Jean Matteo Bahoya and Robinio Vaz while Stoke are also rumoured to be tracking Jack McGlynn, Ben Brereton and Cody Callum Pierre Drameh.
