A couple of weeks ago, Jonathan Walters was less than happy with reports that his contract talks with Stoke were at breaking point. In the aftermath of Ireland's 1-1 draw with Scotland, Walters told reporters that he believed he was, relative to some of his teammates' contracts, worth more than he was being offered.

Tony Pulis is looking to make Walters his second Irish signing of the summer after already taking James McClean to the Hawthorns from Wigan.
