He played with Hoever with Holland u21s in November - and was in their Euro u21 squad in the summer with Burger. Hopefully Wouter will have a word.

That story from their local paper basically says they need the money - but it'll come down to the player.
Seems to the their big, local paper - so maybe something in it
Vitesse striker Manhoef in the picture at Palermo and Stoke City Of the row of clubs that are interested in Million Manhoef, Palermo and Stoke City are clearly in the picture. This is what sources around Vitesse say. The Arnhem premier league player is open to a transfer, but it should reportedly amount to around 4 million euros.
Vitesse has held back Manhoef (22) from leaving for a long time. Trainer Edward Sturing and technical director Benjamin Schmedes want the selection to remain up to standard.
The Arnhem club is fighting against relegation. The Jong Oranje international can be important in this regard. Finding a replacement on the wing is also very difficult. And especially in the short term.
The transfer window closes at midnight on Thursday evening.
Need However, the financial need is so great in Arnhem that a deal is now negotiable. To complete this year of football, Vitesse still needs at least 5 million euros.
A new loan from the American Coley Parry, the intended new owner of the club, only increases the debt burden. The New York businessman has already advanced 12 million euros in the past year and a half due to holes in the budget. A transfer from Manhoef thus alleviates the worries in the capital of Gelderland.
No matter how great the interest from abroad, a transition lies with Manhoef. The wing attacker must see potential in an adventure in Italy or England.
Palermo and Stoke Palermo is one of the top teams in Serie B, a strong competition in Italy. The club from Sicily is part of the City Group, the conglomeration around Manchester City. This offers career opportunities. The Rosanero, nicknamed because of the pink shirt, are currently fifth in the rankings.
Stoke City plays in the Championship, England's strong second league. The club from Staffordshire currently occupies 19th place. Stoke is fighting for enforcement.
Contract until July 2025 Manhoef is in his fourth year in Vitesse's main squad. He has 88 appearances for the club (all competitions), with 16 goals.
The Dutch Juniors international still has a contract in Arnhem until July 2025. He is interesting for clubs because of his versatility. The North Hollander can play on both the right and left front and has also played as a left wing defender for Vitesse.
Manhoef has been linked with several clubs this season. This included AZ and FC Twente. PSV was also briefly in the picture.

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-transfer-deadline-news-9069604Stoke City are expected to take their hunt for more January transfer business into February as negotiations spill into deadline day. It is still most likely to look reasonably quiet in terms of numbers by 11pm tomorrow but it's still frantic behind the scenes with a host of possibilities One more arrival, probably on loan at this stage, would still be no surprise but beyond that would almost certainly depend on exits.

Wonder if we're willing to spend some cash on Devante Cole... I'll bring this one back, be a tough one but definitely one we're looking at. I'd be a bit wary of signing 28-year-olds who've never done it at any reasonable level

Homzy's replies are interesting For clarity (as I've seen lots of people talking about this), the loan to perm deal isn't happening, as it was too expensive.Big call was me saying I think it'd have been a big call had we gone ahead with it.Loan deal becoming perm could only be Iversen or Cundle, you'd think, as bigger question marks about other 3. Summer signing heading out from all rumours seems to be Wesley, maybe to a desert retirement home. Desperately scrabbling hardly sounds promising........ Ha I'm sure I'm being harsh, but it certainly doesn't seem as though we've got a fixed target that we've been chasing, more that we're desperate to freshen things up and are investigating all options.Lets just wait and see what happens today, no reason to put a name out there unless it becomes more clear that its going to happen. Homzy my Dms are open though 😉🤣 Exactly. All I'll say is his name hasn't been mentioned in any of the replies yet.
But that's kind every January market at this point of it isn't it? Yep, sure we're no different to most other clubs at this stage. I just hope we don't panic buy.burger /junho? Not quite that shocking thankfully! And the Kamara deal won't happen for the reasons stated elsewhere. One to watch in the summer perhaps, but Stoke would still like a wide forward in this window if possible.
Time against us now though.So not who Jez has mentioned then? (Wes) No. But ditto my previous comment - they'd definitely let him go too!
Just seeing what they can do to make something positive happen. Honestly, I don't see this coming off and personally wouldn't want us to get rid of this player so soon, but maybe he's upset the applecart.Pearson will probably be the summer signing were looking to move out He is one of those we're open to offers on (who isn't?!), but he's not the one I'm referring to. New name, would be a shock IMHO.
If I get a name on the striker(s) they're chasing I'll put a story out, but it's all a bit too vague atm.
We wouldn’t let Mmaee go without a proper replacement would we? Relyingon Campbell, Wesley, Gayle and Lowe until the end of the season would send shivers down my spine. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was Vidigal, I don’t think we’d miss him that much. You'd think the replacement would be the striker we want to bring in to freshen it up and presumably be the new main man up there? It's definitely one of the two, you'd think. And think I'd just lean towards Mmaee as it'd be more of a big call given the fee and there'd maybe be a bigger market for him than Vidigal?

Don't know what to make of that from Homzy. The only loan player you'd think we'd be remotely interested in signing would be Cundle (and that's not based on anything he's done here) But if the mooted £1.5m is too expensive, especially with the nod and wink from the Wolves end that a permanent is on the cards if he impresses God help us. "Hawking out a summer signing". "Big call" Presuming it'd be Haks if we're talking loans? But not a big call surely? You'd hope it'd be Wes if we're talking permanents, but that wouldn't be a big call - and good luck finding anyone with eyes who wants him. And there'd be riots if they sold Burger, Bae or Tchamadeu - and nobody would care if they sold anyone else, including Pearson Mmaee is the summer signing, I reckon Yeah, another possible. There could be a market for him given his Hungarian record. But a market at £1.5m+ and the kind of salary we gave him for the next 2.5 yrs seems tougher Sometimes it is better to rip te plaster off and admit you made a bad call though

With it being a "big call" could it be Vidigal, despite his early goals he doesn't really offer a lot and doesn't have the pace to fit Schuey's system Possibly - but I think we've seen enough to know he isn't going to have much of an impact at this level. He could be on good money for 2-and-a-half years though, and would imagine his market will be be very small, given the lack of big teams in Portugal.

Sky are saying £2m for Mundle from Sunderland. That seems on the risky end for a youngster who's done nothing Better to keep the pathway clear for Jojic in that case. Must say, I was hoping for a little bit more development from him at this point, with £1m, a four-year deal and a wild card tied up in him. Obviously accept that he's a 20-year-old who's a bit of a fish out of water and coming from a poor league - but so is Bae. And for him not to even be in the conversation for any minutes for a completely dysfuntional front three is starting to set a few alarm bells off. I haven't seen many reports about him looking the part even at u21 level, and he didn't stand out at all in the bits of the West Ham u21 game I saw on Friday. Maybe we've got to start to view these things over a time period and see him an investment - but given our overall spend, £1m and 25% of our wild card slots is a decent spend for any non-parachute Championship club I'd like to hear a truth serum verdict on his development and first-team chances in the next 12 months from the coaching staff

Linked with Germinal Beerschot m.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20240129_97095574The Englishman D'Margio Wright-Philips should be the next winter transfer. Technical director Gyorgy Csepregi continues to search for interesting profiles. D'Margio Wright-Philips is the next player on the radar. Stoke City's 22-year-old wing attacker is the son of Shaun Wright-Philips Grandson D'Margio is a youth product from Manchester City, but was allowed to leave there for free three years ago. He chose second division Stoke City. In the Championship he played 17 games in the past two seasons in which he scored twice. This season he played for the first team for less than a minute. Wright-Philips has a contract with Stoke until the end of the season. It is still unclear whether it is a final transfer or a rental transfer.

Doubt we'll be doing any expensive loans, with no prospect of getting the player permanently, when the season target now is basically staying up - and it's something that's still massively likely.
Someone like Amad now will have become one that'll take deep pockets, and one you can only justify if you're chasing the play-offs, in the way Hull are with paying Carvalho's wages and taking Giles.
If we are after a loan as the Sentinel suggest, it'll be interesting to see what calibre of player it is. Can't be a young kiddie surely?
Or, if it is, it's got to be one where we've got a chance of turning it into something more permanent.

If the plan is to send a loan back, got to be Haks, you'd think. There'd be takers for him abroad somewhere, and he's no loss at all. It doesn't make sense to have 6 loans here and it must lead to demoralised loan players who really don't want to be here when they're playing Russian Roulette for a bench place at the bottom of the Championship Is it Russian Roulette? Or, is it simply getting dropped for being rather crap at your job? We aren’t exactly in the position where any 5 of our loan players are pulling up trees and the potential 6th is just unlucky. None of them are adding anything at all really, are they? But we seem to be stuck with them, and it's probably not down to lack of effort in most cases. The players in question think they've made a sacrifice to get game time. Then they find they can't even get on the Stoke bench. Just can't see any good coming from it. More often than not, you'd think it would be Haks missing out, especially if the new loanee (if one arrives) will be a winger/forward. In his case, we reportedly hijacked the loan from PAOK, one of the better Greek teams. If he finds himself enjoying a winter in the stands, he'll be thinking 'WTF am I doing here? and haiving a disgruntled player who's shown he will kick up a stink (as he did to get out of Celtic) probably won't lead to good things. But unless there is a taker for him, it's a moot point. If the Sentinel have heard a loanee is possible, can't help feeling there must be a plan to return one to avoid an unnecessary problem
