Stoke push for Jerome switch

Stoke City are continuing talks with Cameron Jerome as they try and push through a deal with Birmingham for the striker. The Potters are hoping to agree a deal with Blues for Jerome as well as his team-mate Scott Dann and have a bid of £16million on the table for the pair. While talks with Dann and West Ham's Carlton Cole have stalled in recent days, a move for Jerome is progressing. According to reports, the Potters are hopeful that they could conclude a deal for Jerome early next week. It is believed that Tony Pulis wants both Jerome and Cole to bolster his attacking options.
