Stoke winger Liam Lawrence expects to complete his move to Celtic when Aiden McGeady signs for Spartak Moscow this week. McGeady’s imminent transfer to the Russian club will give Hoops’ boss Neil Lennon an extra £9.5million to continue rebuilding his squad and some of that money will be used to bring long-time target Lawrence to Parkhead. The Potters’ star said: “I want a new challenge and, if it comes about, I will be chomping at the bit to achieve things at Celtic because they need to push this year and win things again.”

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is ready to sign Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones in a record £9million deal – and make it third time lucky. Pulis has tried to land the big Trinidad and Tobago attacker for the last two windows and finally got an agreement with the Black Cats yesterday about taking on the big hit man. Jones’s agent was in talks in the Potteries yesterday and is trying to hammer out a contract for the striker, who is already on around £70,000-a-week at the Stadium of Light.

Christian Poulsen will fly into Liverpool today, to tie up a £6million reunion with his old boss Roy Hodgson. The Reds manager gave Poulsen an introduction into professional football when he was manager of FC Copenhagen a decade ago, and together the pair won a title medal. Now the midfielder will undergo a medical this afternoon and expects to complete negotiations with the English club on a three year contract after his club Juventus agreed a fee over the weekend.

Liverpool have made another inquiry about West Ham’s Carlton Cole after Tottenham quoted them £15million for Peter Crouch. Liverpool expect to finalise a £5.5m deal for Juventus midfielder Christian Poulsen within the next 24 hours and are mulling over an improved offer for Middlesbrough goalkeeper Brad Jones. But manager Roy Hodgson has made another striker his next priority. That looks like hinging on cash from the sale of Javier Mascherano though after West Ham also quoted Liverpool £12m on England international Cole.
