Stoke goalkeeper Josef Bursik 'set to become Scott Parker's first signing as Club Bruges manager', with the former England U21 star 'due to undergo a medical with the Belgian side'

Scott Parker is due to bring in 'Stoke's Josef Bursik' as his first signing as Club Bruges manager.

Parker took over at the Belgian side on New Year's Eve after being sacked by Bournemouth in August. They have played one game under him so far; a 3-1 loss to Genk on Saturday.

According to reports from the Telegraph, Bursik is due to undergo a medical in Bruges shortly, as the former England U21 star moves from a struggling Championship side to one that will play a Champions League knockout game in a month's time.
