German side Stuttgart are set to win the race to sign Stoke City youngster Mohamed Sankoh, with a medical set to take place according to Kicker. 

The likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Atalanta and AC Milan were just some of the clubs reportedly interested in signing the Potters player, but it appears as though Stuttgart have won the race to land his signature.

It is claimed by Kicker that Sankoh has been in Germany recently, and is said to be impressed with the facilities on offer with Stuttgart.

Stoke City had been keen to tie down Sankoh to a new contract, but it seems as though they have lost their battle to keep him at the club ahead of the 2020/21 campaign.

Sankoh hadn't made a first-team appearance for the Potters, but caught the eye with a number of impressive performances for the club's academy teams.

Stoke's senior side finished 15th in the Championship table in what was a disappointing league campaign on the whole for Michael O'Neill's side.
