Stoke City Planning January Swoop for Top Championship Striker After Slow Start to Season

Stoke City are plotting a move for Birmingham City striker Che Adams in the upcoming January transfer window.

According to reports from the Telegraph, former Birmingham manager Gary Rowett is prepared to spend £5m on a reunion with Adams, who he signed during his time at St Andrew's.

Adams has been in impressive form this season, scoring eight times in 17 Championship appearances, including a match winner against Rowett's side last month.

Stoke have struggled in the attacking third this season, finding themselves 14th in the league – and only five sides have scored fewer goals than the Potters thus far.
