Stoke Set to Secure Netherlands International Bruno Martins Indi After Summer Long Pursuit

Stoke City are set to complete the signing of Porto FC defender Bruno Martins Indi on a permanent deal within the next 24 hours.

Martins Indi is no stranger to the Premier League or the Bet365 Stadium after featuring 37 times for the Potters last season, scoring one goal.

Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett has tweeted, that the Dutch international is due to fly into England on Wednesday to complete his medical and all formalities to become a Stoke player for this season.

Crystal Palace were also interested in the Porto defender, but Mark Hughes' side have beaten their Premier League rivals to the defender's signature in a deal thought to be worth around £7m after the Portuguese club lowered their valuation from £10m.
