Stoke City forward Jonathan Walters has handed in a transfer request, according to Sky sources.

This follows on from the news that the Republic of Ireland player is yet to join up with the squad ahead of their Euro 2016 qualifiers against Gibraltar and Georgia.

Walters has one-year left on his contract and has been in negotiations with the Potters over a new deal.

Stoke have also rejected a second bid worth around £2m from Norwich City who are keen to sign the 31-year-old.

Ireland boss O'Neill said: "There may be something happening, although he's not terribly sure at this minute.

"But while there is the possibility of something happening to him, then I think it's best that he sees it until the transfer deadline is finished.

"I said to the players beforehand that I will be prepared if somebody has to go at the last minute, either on loan somewhere, that's fine, or if it's a proper transfer."
