Swansea have also been to Holland to watch the 23-year-old, who scored 17 goals in Eredivisie last season.

Nottingham Forest are also in the hunt for Mahi and Bristol City are prepared to rekindle their interest after bidding for him in the summer.

Mahi has one full season left on his Groningen contract and the Dutch side must let him talk to clubs if they receive a £2m bid.

Stoke boss Hughes, with one Premier League win since mid-August, wants to inject more pace into his side when the January window opens.

Mahi can play on the wing or through the middle, with Swansea in the market after missing out on Nacer Chadli in the summer.

He played for Holland’s youth teams before switching Morocco, where his parents are from, earlier this year.

And he is set for a move to England following his impressive form since arriving from Sparta Rotterdam three years ago.
