Potters Back In For Long Time Target

Last updated : 20 July 2011 By Dan Buxton

Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega is back on Stoke boss Tony Pulis wishlistas the search for a striker heats up.

Stoke have been linked with a number of hitmen over the summer but have now reportedly turned to a striker they have tracked for two years.

Columbian international Rodallega was thought to be a nailed on certainty to join the Potters if WIgan were relegated but he scored the goal to keep the club in the top flight, ironically at the Britannia Stadium against Stoke, to cloud over the deal with WIgan keen to keep one of the few star players left in their ranks.

Rodallega joins Crouch, Welbeck, Sturridge and Carlton Cole as strikers linked with a move to the Brit during this transfer window.
