Stoke City: Tuncay and Huth set for talks
by Martin Spinks
MIDDLESBROUGH pair Tuncay and Robert Huth are due for talks at the Britannia Stadium today ahead of a potentially dramatic day of business.
-
Tuncay will add enormous attacking flair to City's Premier League ambitions, while Huth is now favourite to fill the central defensive berth after Stoke tried and seemingly failed to land West Ham's James Collins.
Tuncay, who is now 27, has captained Turkey and played nearly 60 times for his country.
He has scored 17 times in 70 appearances for Boro since moving from Fenerbahce two years ago.
Huth, who can also play left back, came through the ranks at Chelsea after moving to England earlier in his career.
