Stoke City are preparing to bid for Dundee defender Luke Graham, who is wanted by Norwich City.

A recent Portsmouth News piece claimed Graham’s preference was to play in the Championship, and named Pompey, Derby County, Norwich City, Stoke, Lincoln City, Charlton Athletic and Preston North End as clubs with an interest.

Team Talk reports that Norwich City are monitoring Luke Graham, viewing him as a potential left-sided option. The club, managed by former Rangers boss Phillips Clement, has now made contact over a potential move. The player is said to favour a move to England’s second tier as he has desires to play in the English Premier League.

Dundee's 22-year-old Scottish centre-back, Luke Graham, has been linked with several Championship clubs, including Norwich City and Derby, while Rangers are also interested. It was reported that a £1.5m offer for Graham from Portsmouth was rejected during the January window. Dundee manager Steven Pressley confirmed there is significant interest in the player, and Graham acknowledged the constant speculation about his future.
