Stoke in advanced talks with Leicester for Iversen loan deal after revisiting summer attempt

Iversen has been linked to Stoke once more this week. During the summer, when his former Preston North End head coach Alex Neil was still in charge, Stoke took an interest in him.

In an effort to provide Steven Schumacher, Neil’s successor, with more goalkeeping options, the Potters have now rekindled their interest in Iversen.In an effort to provide Steven

Schumache, Neil’s successor, with more goalkeeping options, the Potters have now rekindled their interest in Iversen.Mark Travers joined Stoke on loan from Bournemouth in July; however, after making 14 appearances during his loan, the Premier League team called him back in late October.

As a result, Jack Bonham, who was previously Travers’ backup goalkeeper, is now their starting goalkeeper.Tommy Simkin, a teenager who recently made his Stoke debut, has been on the bench a lot since returning from his own loan spell with Solihull Moors.

More seasoned backup Frank Fielding has been sidelined several times this season due to injury, which began in November.When Stoke plays Brighton

in the FA Cup on Saturday, their deficiency in goalkeeping depth will be exposed. Simkin is unable to play for Stoke this season because of his previous experience with Solihull in the competition.

As with last season, Bonham will most likely be asked to start again, but if Stoke’s plans come together, he may finish the campaign as their backup goalkeeper.Stoke wants a number one and thinks Iversen could be able to handle the situation.

They were initially deterred from signing him in the summer by
