Stoke and West Brom set to go head for head for U21 Czech International

With both teams enjoying successful Premier League campaigns so far this season, Stoke and West Brom will be hoping to build on their good form going into the 2017/2018 season.

A statement of intent from the top flight rivals is their reported interest in one of Serie A's hottest properties in the form of Czech U21 international Jakub Jankto.

The Udinese midfielder has made a real name for himself in Italy's top flight this year with 4 assists and 3 goals in 21 games so far this season.

Valued at around £8million Jankto shot to prominence in a successful loan spell at Ascoli last year which led to both Arsenal and Leicester sending scouts out to Italy to run the rule over him.
