Stoke City tell four players they can leave the club

All four are on the hunt for new teams.

Stoke manager Gary Rowett has informed four players that they are free to leave the club. Charlie Adam, Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting, Giannelli Imbula and Geoff Cameron will now be on the search for new clubs.

Imbula arrived from Porto for a hefty fee of £18m and Choupo-Moting came on a free from Schalke, but they are now training with the U23s, away from the senior squad.

Charlie Adam joined from Liverpool in 2012 and played 144 league games for the Potters, but has now been deemed surplus to requirements by Rowett. Geoff Cameron has also been left out of Rowett’s two matchday squads so far this season. Werder Bremen and Rayo Vallecano are reportedly interested in signing the player.
