Stoke City will listen to offers for former Barcelona forward Bojan and former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher, Sky Sports News has been told.

The two players are not part of new manager Nathan Jones' plans, with the Welshman keen to alter the squad before the January transfer window closes.

On Tuesday morning, Stoke completed the £3m signing of Wolves defender Danny Batth on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

Bojan, 28, arrived at the bet365 Stadium in July 2014, as one of Mark Hughes' marquee signings for the Potters, and was an instant hit with supporters, scoring memorable goals in wins over Tottenham at White Hart Lane and in a 3-2 win over Arsenal at home.

The Spaniard scored a wonderful volley in the FA Cup fourth round at Watford, but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his knee, which curtailed his season.

Bojan, who has also played for Ajax and AC Milan, returned to form the following season, but eventually fell out of favour, going out on loan to Mainz in Germany and Alaves in Spain.

He has made just three starts in this season's Championship campaign, scoring once against Rotherham, and has yet to feature under Jones.

Fletcher joined Stoke from West Bromwich Albion in June 2017, following 12 seasons and five Premier League titles with Manchester United.

The Scot scored the winner in one of Stoke's seven Premier League wins last season, in a 1-0 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road, and repeated the feat at Ashton Gate against Bristol City in the Championship.

Fletcher has only made four starts in the league this season, with former Stoke boss preferring the likes of Joe Allen, Ryan Woods and Oghenekaro Etebo in central midfield.

Fletcher turns 35 the day after Deadline Day.
