Potters boss likes look of Mancienne

Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne, currently on loan at Wolves, is reportedly in Tony Pulis' sights as he searches for new signings for Stoke. The 22-year-old has started Wolves' last three away games in the Premier League and is said to have impressed Pulis. Chelsea were understood to be looking to offload Mancienne permanently in the summer but the England Under-21 international ultimately headed back to Molineux for a third loan spell. The Blues will probably try again to move Mancienne on in January, and a switch to the Britannia Stadium could appeal, according to The People.
