Stoke boss Tony Pulis is remaining coy with regards a possible loan swoop for West Ham midfielder Nigel Quashie.

The Irons star has recently come back from a long-term injury and is keen for regular playing time as he steps up his rehabilitation.

Pulis knows all about Quashie's capabilities having signed the 29-year-old when manager of Portsmouth back in 2000.

"Quashie is with West Ham and we will be discussing things with West Ham first. If people want to speculate, they can speculate," he told the Sentinel.
