Stoke City have turned their back on a deal to bring Potteries-born Jack Harrison to the club - but remain hot on the heels of Galatasaray midfielder Badou Ndiaye.

The club could re-visit the Harrison deal in the summer transfer window if he remains at New York City, while Stoke's hierarchy hope to announce Ndiaye's signing as early as tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Josh Tymon has completed his move to MK Dons on loan until the end of the season following the arrival of fellow left back Kostas Stafylidis on loan from Augsburg last week.

Harrison was keen to join Stoke in this window, but the club was consistently thwarted by a moving of the goalposts on price.

Now there is a suggestion that New York City's parent club, Manchester City, could take him themselves and possibly loan him to Tony Pulis' Middlesbrough.

Stoke now believe the deal "seems dead" but are not currently looking for an alternative ahead of Wednesday's transfer deadline.

Stoke have made significant progress on Ndiaye, however, but they are not taking anything for granted after so many complications with the deal.

That has included dealings with the player and Galatasaray - and the hurdle of a work permit because he hasn't played the requisite number of senior internationals for Senegal (60 per cent over the last two years).

The club is not ruling out any last-minute transfer activity, particularly with loans, but as things stand Ndiaye's signing will be the only addition at Stoke City to the earlier January acquisitions of Stafylidis and Moritz Bauer for £5m from Rubin Kazan.
