Six players on notice as Stoke City plan for January transfer business

Stoke City manager Mark Robins is already preparing for the January transfer window, highlighting the necessity to trade and potentially move players on to continue improving the squad. Several players have slipped down the pecking order following successful summer arrivals, with Tomas Rigo, Ben Gibson, Ben Pearson, Million Manhoef, Bae Junho, and Robert Bozenik all experiencing reduced playing time.

While Robins stressed that the entire squad is required during a demanding Championship campaign, he confirmed the recruitment team is actively planning incoming and outgoing deals. Stoke are eager to build momentum and adhere to financial regulations by continuing to reshape their squad in the winter.
