Stoke City boss Gary Rowett keen to secure exit for quartet?

Stoke City boss Gary Rowett has reportedly indicated that he wishes to trim his first-team squad before the end of August.

Rowett has endured a difficult start at the bet365 Stadium, with the Potters registering just one point from Championship fixtures against Leeds United and Brentford.

The Staffordshire-based outfit could make loan additions in the coming weeks and according to The Telegraph, Rowett has already made it clear that he wishes to move four players out of the club.

The report claims that Geoff Cameron, Gianelli Imbula, Charlie Adam and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting have all been told that they are available for transfer.

Cameron, Imbula and Choupo-Moting could all attract interest from European clubs - who can still sign players on a permanent basis - while Adam may emerge as a loan option for clubs playing in the Championship.
