Reports suggest that Stoke City will once again attempt to secure the services of Wolves’ forward Luke Cundle in the upcoming January transfer window. Despite talks of a potential move over the summer, the Warrington-born midfielder ultimately remained at Molineux after a deadline day deal fell through.
EFL journalist Alan Nixon has disclosed on his Patreon that the Potters are keen on re-signing Cundle, who spent last season on loan with Plymouth Argyle and Stoke. Despite a successful loan spell with the Pilgrims, contributing three goals and five assists, Cundle’s future at Wolves remains uncertain given the competition in the midfield department.
Speaking about Cundle’s situation, Wolves’ first-team manager Gary O’Neil addressed the midfielder’s impressive performances during pre-season and emphasized the tough decision ahead for the young playmaker. With attacking options abound at Wolves, Cundle will have to fight for his place in the squad.
However, Cundle faces an uphill battle to secure regular playing time at Wolves following the club’s recent acquisition of Fluminense star Andre. The impressive Brazilian made a name for himself with an outstanding performance for his national team, further complicating Cundle’s path to first-team football.
As Cundle prepares for the challenges that lie ahead, Stoke City remains hopeful of welcoming the talented forward back to the Bet365 Stadium in January to bolster their attacking options.
