Stoke are leading the race for Chelsea's forgotten man Lewis Baker.
The midfielder could leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer this month.
His contract expires at the end of the season but the Potters are keen to add Baker to their squad in the January transfer window as they fight for promotion from the Sky Bet Championship.
