Aaron Hunt a target for Mark Hughes and Stoke City in £2.5m deal from Werder Bremen Hughes has turned his attentions to Hunt, the Germany international, after missing out on a number of targets this summer and has agreed a fee with the Bundesliga club. But Hughes is facing a battle to convince the 26-year-old to join Stoke City and sources close to the deal are doubtful it will go through. Hunt, who has three caps for the German national team, has been made available by Bremen and is hesitating over whether to move to the Britannia Stadium. Stoke are running out of time to secure new firepower and Hughes has already seen a move for Hannover's Mame Biram Diouf collapse. The Welshman has also scouted Rennes striker Mevlut Erdinc after identifying the signing of a new forward as a priority before the transfer window closes on Monday. Peter Odemwingie remains on the radar, after Stoke offered £2 million, but they face competition from Cardiff and Swansea.
