Carl Dickinson is close to agreeing a switch to Leeds United, although
Dicko, who graduated through the clubs academy, has played over 60 games for the Potters but has fallen down the pecking order with the arrival of Danny Collins.
The tough tackling 23-year-old has already played for Blackpool and Leeds on loan, both whilst Simon Grayson was in charge of those sides and he is also in charge of Leeds right now.
His last appearance was a steady performance in the Carling Cup tie away at Leyton Orient six days ago.
