City stopper Thomas Sorensen's exit looks to have drawn closer, with West Brom and Manchester City eyeing up a deal for the Danish gloveman.
Sorensen, 35, has been in talks with the Potters for six months over a new contract but has been unable to come to an agreement, especially whilst he plays second fiddle to Asmir Begovic.
Former Villa man Sorensen, who has 96 international caps, has 12 months left on his current deal but looks likely to leave with West Brom ready to offer him regular first team football.
The other option for Soro would be to be number two keeper at Manchester City and get to be involved when Roberto Mancini decides number one Joe Hart requires a rest.
