Stoke City close to signing Bruno Martins Indi on loan - sources

Stoke City are closing in on the loan signing of Porto defender Bruno Martins Indi, sources have told ESPN FC.

Porto are willing to let Martins Indi, 24, move on before the close of the transfer window as he does not figure in coach Nuno Espirito Santo's plans.

Sources have told ESPN FC that the Netherlands international has flown into England for talks with Stoke and other interested clubs, but the Potters are close to securing a deal for the player.

Martins Indi, who can play at centre-back and left-back, joined Porto in the summer of 2014 from Feyenoord.
