Stoke City are in desperate need of a strong summer transfer window. The Potters finished 17th in the league with 55 points from 46 games.

What happened?

Their 2025/26 campaign started brightly but ended in disappointment. Mark Robins has come under pressure for his performance.

Why it matters for Stoke City

The club needs to sign quality players to fill the gaps in their squad. Dennis Cirkin, a 24-year-old left-back, is a potential target. He was released by Sunderland after his contract expired.

What comes next?

Stoke City will be looking to sign free agents like Cirkin and Mark Sykes to boost their squad. Sykes is a versatile Irishman who was released by Bristol City. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 17th | | Points | 55 | | Recent form | LLLLD | | Last result | Bristol City 2-0 Stoke City (2026-05-02) | Stoke City's last result was a 2-0 loss to Bristol City on 2026-05-02.
