STOKE CITY have today confirmed that they are closing in on the signing of Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.
City have agreed personal terms for the 26-year-old American international to move from Ibrox for an undisclosed fee.
The transfer is now subject to Edu passing a medical over the weekend and then being granted a work permit.
He would join former Rangers team-mate Jamie Ness at the Britannia Stadium and become the second USA international to be signed by City recently following the arrival of Geoff Cameron from Houston Dynamo.
