According to reports, a \u00a310 million deal has been agreed. The winger is expected to have a medical at Stoke soon with the completion of the deal expected soon after.

It was Rowett who sold Ince to <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/07\/13\/erik-durm-signs-for-huddersfield-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Huddersfield<\/a> last summer in order to raise money to strengthen his then <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/05\/31\/frank-lampard-announced-as-new-derby-boss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Derby County<\/a> squad. Last season, Ince played 37 times scoring three goals. However, he has proved in the past that he can score more in the Championship.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>City to sign striker?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Bristol City are set to beat a host of clubs in signing League Two hotshot Mo Eisa. It is believed that City have offered his club Cheltenham Town the fee they wanted. The deal is believed to worth \u00a31.5 million to Cheltenham. If the deal goes through he will be managed at City by Lee Johnson, the son of Town\u2019s manager Gary Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>Sunderland had been thought to have been in pole position for Eisa but it appears that the Robins have now leaped to the front of the queue. Peterborough United, Portsmouth, Leeds and others were also believed to be chasing the striker. 24-year-old Eisa scored 25 goals in his debut season in the Football League.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>League One<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Sunderland eye winger and striker<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/07\/14\/new-era-at-sunderland-needs-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sunderland<\/a> are interested in a loan deal for striker Ross McCormack. The Black Cats are also believed to be preparing a bid for Kilmarnock winger Jordan Jones. Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/05\/25\/jack-ross-appointed-as-sunderland-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Ross<\/a> appears to be about to lose out on top target Mo Eisa and appears to have quickly set his sights on Scottish international McCormack. The striker has endured a tough time at Aston Villa since his big-money move after impressing at both Leeds and Fulham.<\/p>\n<p>New manager <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/05\/25\/jack-ross-appointed-as-sunderland-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jack Ross<\/a> is also interested in Kilmarnock\u2019s Northern Ireland international winger Jordan Jones. The 23-year-old has impressed in recent times and could be an excellent addition to Ross\u2019s new look squad. However, it is understood that Derby County and Hull City are also monitoring the situation. If this is the case, <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/06\/23\/jack-ross-new-owners-sunderland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sunderland<\/a> will need to move fast to convince him to move to League One over the Championship.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Manchester United to sign Rochdale starlet?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Manchester United are believed to be interested in Rochdale\u2019s talented youngster Daniel Adshead.

Adshead broke into Rochdale\u2019a first-team last season becoming Dales\u2019s youngest ever debutant.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Scunthorpe defender wanted<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2018\/07\/04\/west-brom-sign-goalkeeper-sam-johnstone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Bromwich Albion<\/a> have joined Ipswich Town and Hull City in chasing Scunthorpe left-back Conor Townsend. Hull are believed to have had a \u00a3250,000 bid rejected for a player they allowed to leave for free two and half years ago. Scunthorpe want \u00a3600,000 for the defender considered one of the most consistent in League One. The 25-year-old has two years left on his current contract.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Shrewsbury sign Chelsea midfielder<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Shrewsbury Town have completed the signing of Charlie Colkett on a season-long loan.
