Allen set for Stoke medical ahead of 13 million pound switch from Liverpool

The Wales international is set to undergo a physical check with the Potters before joining his new teammates in Florida should all formalities go as planned.

Joe Allen is edging closer to exiting Liverpool and signing for Stoke in a 13 million pound ($17M) deal with his medical pencilled in for Monday, sources tell Goal UK.

The midfielder had an encouraging meeting with Mark Hughes, who outlined why he'd be essential to the club's ambitions, and will undergo a physical check before joining his new teammates in Florida if all goes as planned.

Stoke moved quickly to reach an agreement with the Merseysiders, well aware the Wales international would be the subject of several offers when he officially returned from vacation on July 26.
