Tony Pulis remains hopeful James Collins will agree to join Stoke City Football Club.

The Potters have had an offer of £5million accepted for the West Ham United defender, who has yet to decide whether or not to make the switch to the Britannia Stadium.

"I certainly don't think it's dead and he's a player I would like, along with others before the end of the transfer deadline,” a confident Pulis told The Sentinel.
