Stoke open talks with PSG over deal for Jese Rodriguez and plot move for Tottenham striker Vincent Janssen

Stoke have opened talks over a possible deal for PSG forward Jese Rodriguez. 

The 24-year-old former Real Madrid forward was expected to join Fiorentina on a two year loan with view to a permanent transfer.

But he has turned down a move to Italy and is keen to come to the Premier League.

Rodriguez starred for Los Blancos in his early career but has failed to establish himself as a regular since moving to France. 

With the addition of Neymar for £198million, Rodriguez is now even further down the pecking order.

It seems Unai Emery is willing to consider deals for the Spaniard, putting Premier League sides on alert.  

Stoke have also enquired about Tottenham forward Vincent Janssen, as have West Bromwich Albion.

The Spurs forward is very much second fiddle to Harry Kane and failed to impress when given the opportunity last season. 

Vincent Janssen is another man Stoke are targeting before the transfer window closes
