Uchebo is set to join Stoke in a cut-price fee in the region of £1million.
“My game and my physique are set for English football,” said Uchebo. “Tony Pulis loves strong athletes but quality ones as well.
“Guys like Peter Crouch, [Ricardo] Fuller have decent technique, hopefully the deal can go through and I will get my work permit and play my football on the bigger stage.
“VVV Venlo is a good starting point in the Eredivisie but the Premier League is a top league and a dream league for anyone who plays football.”
