Stoke City are interested in acquiring midfielder Sergi Roberto on a six-month loan deal following the success of Bojan Krkic and Marc Muniesa from Barcelona's youth academy.

Sergi Roberto has failed to consistent minutes this season, falling behind the likes of Ivan Rakitic, an in-form Xavi Hernandez and Luis Enrique’s preferred choice Rafinha, instead settling for the odd 20 minutes at the end of decided matches and Copa game.

Sergi recently signed a contract extension last September, which ties him to the Camp Nou until 2019.
