Sol Sidibie, 16, is set to follow in the footsteps of his father, Mamady, at Stoke City and join the likes of Tom Ince and Liam Delap to forge careers like their dad's did

If following in the footsteps of your famous footballer dad is the ambition then Stoke is the place to be.

In recent seasons, the likes of Tom Ince and Liam Delap have had spells with the Potters.

Their current squad contains Tyrese Campbell – son of Kevin – and D’Margio Wright-Phillips – son of Shaun and also grandson of Ian Wright.

And now a new name is close to becoming the next familiar one to appear on the back of a Stoke shirt.

Coming through their ranks since joining as an under-9 is Sol Sidibe, the son of former Stoke favourite Mamady Sidibe.
