Stoke City could be seeking a new striker in the summer, and Plymouth Argyle's 24-year-old Lorent Tolaj has been suggested as a suitable player. The Swiss forward, who has scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 26 League One matches this season, is attracting interest. Scottish club Celtic is reportedly foremost in the effort to sign him. A potential transfer to Stoke would be controversial, as Tolaj previously played for their city rivals, Port Vale. Tolaj joined Plymouth Argyle in August 2025 for a reported €1,400,000 and his contract runs until June 2029. His current market value is listed by Transfermarkt as €500k, though reports in January 2026 suggested a potential asking price of approximately €6,000,000.
