English Premier League side Stoke City are closing in on the signing of German defender Philipp Wollscheid from Bayer Leverkusen.

Stoke confirmed via its official Twitter account that a deal for the 25 year old, who stands at 6ft 4", is closing in on a loan deal for the rest of the season with them.

According to the message Stoke posted, the two clubs have shook hands on the loan deal for the twice capped centre back.

It throws into question the future of fellow German centre back Robert Huth, who has been in trouble recently following some explicit tweets.
