Mark Hughes is ready to drastically shake up his squad this summer, with record £18.3 million signing Giannelli Imbula and Bojan set to be high-profile casualties.

Hughes will make significant changes at Stoke City as he bids to bring the average age of his squad down and is prepared to offload a number of fringe players.

Imbula, the former Porto midfielder, is facing an uncertain future after struggling to impress Hughes this season while Stoke will listen to offers for Bojan, who joined Mainz on loan in January.

Wilfried Bony, the Manchester City striker, will return to the Etihad Stadium after a difficult loan spell in which he has scored just two Premier League goals. He has not played for the club since Dec 27, although Stoke are paying a large portion of his £120,000 a week wages.

Ibrahim Afellay, Stephen Ireland and Shay Given are out of contract this summer while Philipp Wollscheid, Marc Muniesa and Joselu will also be sold if the club receive acceptable offers.
