Quashie linked with Pulis reunion
West Ham star Nigel Quashie is set to be offered the chance of a reunion with Stoke boss Tony Pulis - the man he credits for saving his career.
Injuries have restricted Quashie to just a handful of appearances for the Hammers since his £1.75million move from West Brom, with none coming this season.
The midfielder has since returned to action for the reserves but he is free to leave Upton Park and has been mulling over a move to Neil Warnock's Crystal Palace.
However, Stoke have now reportedly entered the race for his signature and Quashie is likely to jump at the chance to work with Pulis again if the Potters match his wage demands.
Quashie was snapped up by then-Portsmouth boss Pulis following the death of his young son in 2000 and the 29-year-old has previously admitted he may have quit football if it was not for the Welshman's guidance.
He said last year: "Tony was the one who said to me 'listen, I want to get you right as a person before your football'.
"I can honestly say his man-management is excellent and his attitude towards his players is first class.
"Had it not been for him, I don't think I'd be playing now. He organised everything for me to get myself right mentally.
"That was something I didn't think I'd be able to do again but he did that. He is one person in my life who brought that stability - otherwise I would have definitely been somewhere else.
"I've never had a father in my life so for him to do what he did, I can't thank him enough."
Quashie will initially join Stoke on loan if the move goes ahead, with a permanent deal in the offing in January.
The promotion hopefuls have got a significant transfer budget to spend and Pulis has made midfield his priority after landing centre-half Leon Cort.

out of him and glenn whelan, i would prefer whelan, because we will get more years out of him, however quashie's wages will be higher, whoever signs, we need someone to play alongside diao, and quashie will do nicely.

Read in the Irish Post last week Whelan was heading for the Prem for around 1.75m-usually pretty accurate in their reports
Think was Pompey but can't remember

Quashie was blood terible for us. but with his history this is the sort od signing that TP is very good at turning good.
