Stoke City has some competition for Liverpool's Joe Allen, with Swansea City stating its interest in the Wales international.
Swansea City's new owners are in discussions over bringing Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen back to the Liberty Stadium.
Allen, who joined the Swansea youth setup at the age of 9, moved to Premier League side Liverpool in 2012 after former club boss Brendan Rodgers spent 15 million pounds ($20M) on the Wales international.
The 26-year-old has a year left on his contract at Anfield but is reportedly keen to move on if there are limited opportunities under manager Jurgen Klopp.
