About our Stoke City Transfer news
Latest news on Stoke City Transfer News from January transfer deadline day, with updates on signings and departures.
As the January 2025 transfer window draws to a close, Stoke City are working to finalise their squad under Mark Robins. The club has already completed several significant moves this month, including securing Iraq international Ali Al-Hamadi on loan from Ipswich Town and bringing in Manchester City prospect Josh Wilson-Esbrand.
The Potters have been particularly active in the loan market after losing top scorer Tom Cannon, who was recalled by Leicester City earlier in January. Striker Niall Ennis has departed for Blackpool on loan until the end of the season, while young defender Freddie Anderson has joined Cork City on a longer-term loan deal running until November 2025.
The January window follows a busy summer period that saw significant investment in the squad, with goalkeeper Viktor Johansson arriving from Rotherham United and experienced defender Ben Gibson joining from Norwich City. The club also strengthened their youth ranks with several promising additions, including Chinoso Chibueze from Chelsea and Francis Gyimah from Liverpool.
Looking back at the season's transfer activity, notable departures included Tyrese Campbell's move to Sheffield United and Daniel Johnson's switch to Turkish side Fatih Karagümrük. The club has maintained its focus on squad regeneration, with Josh Laurent moving to Burnley and several academy graduates finding new clubs.
