Stoke have made a joint bid for Birmingham City players Scott Dann and Cameron Jerome.
Manager Tony Pulis hopes to secure the pair of 24-year-olds for a sum in the region of £16m, according to Sky Sports News.
Defender Dann has also drawn interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa, while striker Jerome was the subject of a failed bid from Bolton Wanderers earlier this month.
If accepted, the deal would mark the Potters’ first signings of the season.
