There's an element of disappointment around Stoke City at the moment. They've got a strong squad, but haven't threatened the promotion spots as yet this season.

With a strong transfer window, that could all change. Gary Rowett is likely to have funds at his disposal and they're not so far away that they couldn't claim a top six spot at the end of the season.

Rowett was highly active in the summer and beyond, adding the likes of James Maclean, Sam Clucas and Ryan Woods to his side, but there's still an element missing, There's still something that isn't quite right about the Potters.

That is the conundrum facing the former Derby County boss as we go into the transfer window.

He has 31 days to find what he needs, but FLW think he could make big steps by grabbing these TWO early on in January...

Gestede is a rumoured target for Ipswich Town, but Stoke need some firepower up front.

Benik Afobe hasn't been as effective as they might have hoped, but someone like Gestede could be the focal point for their attack.

Any move might have to be on loan but, if they're willing to spend, they'd certainly pip Ipswich to his signature.

If he's available and if they can find a way to make it happen, they have to be in the hunt for Ampadu.

They've looked weak at the back, but the Chelsea youngster has a big future ahead of him and is as calm and composed as anyone in the Championship.

It would be a big coup, but they need to do it if they can.
