Sheffield United set to sign Stoke City goalkeeper Adam Davies as he links back up with manager Paul Heckingbottom to fill the void left by Robin Olsen joining Aston Villa

Sheffield United are signing Stoke City goalkeeper Adam Davies on a permanent deal worth around £250,000.

The 29-year old is undergoing a medical on Monday ahead of linking up with coach Paul Heckingbottom again.

The two worked together previously at Barnsley where Davies made over 200 appearances.

Born in Germany, but capped by Wales, Davies was targeted by Heckingbottom after Aston Villa moved to take over Robin Olsen's loan from Roma.

They had initially discussed a deal for Davies's club mate Frank Fielding but Heckingbottom switched once he knew Davies was available, and Stoke were willing to sell.
