Stoke plan £1million raid for Norwegian star

Stoke boss Tony Pulis is planning a £1million move for Norwegian striker Mohammed Abdellaoue.

The Valerenga frontman was dubbed 'the new Ole Gunnar Solskjaer' when he first broke onto the scene.

And the Norwegian international is available at a quarter of the price that was quoted to Sunderland when they enquired about the 24-year-old's availability last summer.

Pulis is looking to strengthen his strike force as both Dave Kitson and James Beattie could be on their way out of the club.

And he is weighing up whether to make a move for Abdellaoue before the end of the week, with German side Schalke also keen.
