Leeds set to sign Stoke star

The 28-year-old could make a return to Elland Road where he has previously made over 50 appearances for the club between 2004 and 2006.

Pugh was an unused substitute in Stoke’s penalty shoot-out victory over Tottenham in the Carling Cup last night.

“Hopefully in the (Wednesday) morning,” Grayson said after Leeds’ 3-0 Carling Cup defeat to Manchester United last night.

“He’s been involved in a game tonight, hopefully he’s not got injured and fingers crossed it should be done in the morning.”
