Stoke City boss Tony Pulis is poised to make a summer swoop for reported West Ham transfer target Marcos Alonso, according to the Mirror. The Potters almost signed the former Real Madrid wizkid in the January transfer deal, but couldn't agree a price with Alonso's side, Championship outfit Bolton Wanderers. This is bad news for us Irons, as yet another left back target appears to be biting the dust- Sam Allardyce was reportedly interested in the exciting young Spaniard; as reported to you by Blowing Bubbles on February 11, and sent a scout to watch him against Burnley in the Trotters' 2-1 win over Burnley in the Championship earlier in the month, but Stoke now look set to gazumph the Irons' bid for the versatile youngster, who can also play in central midfield, after watching him in person in Bolton's win over Peterborough on Tuesday. With Italian club Fiorentina also seemingly interested, this deal seems less and less likely to happen for West Ham.
