Mark Hughes: In no hurry to bolster Stoke's squad

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has once again played down the prospect of the Potters being busy in the January transfer window.

Hughes admitted last week he “had a few ideas” about what he’d like to do in January, and while the club were on Thursday linked with Iranian star Sardar Azmounit looks set to be a quiet month for the ambitious Potters.

“I don’t think there is any urgency on our part to add really,” Hughes said.

“We have had conversations about certain players that we like the look of and are asking about their circumstances and availability, but I think everyone does that leading into a window.

“If the right player is available we’ll consider it, but if we need to wait, we will.”
