Stoke to go after Sporting CP pair Slimani, Carrillo

Stoke City are set to make a double swoop for Sporting CP pair Islam Slimani and Andre Carrillo.

The Daily Mail reports that the Potters are showing considerable interest in the attacking duo and could go after either one or both of them in the summer.

Mark Hughes has reportedly been given the green light to spend in the next transfer window so has deployed scouts to watch the Lisbon-based pair who are key figures in Marco Silva's squad.

Algerian striker Slimani, 26, has netted 10 goals in 18 league outings this term while 23-year old Peru international Carrillo has contributed five goals in 28 appearances for the third-placed Lions.
