Crouch and Wilson gone ?

Stoke are close to pulling off a spectacular £20million double deal for Wilson Palacios and Peter Crouch as they bid to challenge for honours at home and abroad.

Negotiations for Tottenham midfielder Palacios' move to the Britannia Stadium have been successfully concluded, and he is now a Stoke player.
Tottenham's England striker Crouch is in the Potteries discussing a transfer to Stoke, who are confident he will join them and complete a significant coup that will send out a serious statement of intent about Tony Pulis' side's ambitions this season.

Stoke initially moved for the pair earlier this month, but were frustrated by an inability to agree valuations with the White Hart Lane club and Crouch's reluctance to leave Tottenham, following a Champions' League campaign last season.

Pulis and chairman Peter Coates persevered, however, and are finally on the brink of a breakthrough that will increase their prospects of maintaining a challenge for honours domestically and in the Europa League.
It is understood Palacios is costing between £7million and £9m and that the fee for Crouch, who is expected to sign in the next 24 hours, is between £11m and £13m
