Homegrown Potters Defender In Demand
Trio of Championship clubs chase Shotton City defender Ryan Shotton is in demand with Championship sides Derby, Ipswich Town and Burnley all chasing his signature. Derby are reportedly looking at taking the Fenton born star on a long term loan whilst Ipswich and Burnley have both already tabled seven figure bids. Shotton, 22, has made eight appearances his Stoke since graduating from the Potters academy and has had season long loans at Altrincham, Tranmere and Barnsley to help him gain first team experience. The defender can play at right back or in the centre of the defence but has also been used as an emergency striker for both legs of City's triumphant Europa League tie against Hajduk Split, where his pressure led to the only goal of the second leg in Split, forcing defender to put the ball into his own net.
