Potters trio look set for summer exit

STOKE City will open the door for close-season exits of forwards Ryan Mmaee, Andre Vidigal and Niall Ennis.

The club been holding talks with players about their futures since the end of the season, and The Sentinel understands that Stoke will sanction their departures this summer, with one year left on their contracts.

All three arrived in 2023/24 in previous bet365 Stadium regimes, but have barely figured in the past season, and both Mmaee and Ennis have already spent time away on loan.

Mmaee hasn't played a senior match since August, when he last ran out for Stoke at Plymouth, and last scored in the Championship in December 2023.

He got injured in his first training session on loan at Rapid Vienna, who negotiated an early return to Stoke in January.
