Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys is poised to sign a new contract before joining Stoke City on a loan deal.
The 20-year-old is yet to make a Premier League appearance for Chelsea, however, he did make his first start of the campaign for the Blues in Wednesday night's Carabao Cup win over League Two Wimbledon.

The defender was part of the England Under-19 squad that won the European Championships in 2022 and also starred in this summer's FIFA U-20 World Cup.
