Stoke City’s failure to bring Luke Cundle back to the club following his loan spell has been identified as a mistake by the Championship side.
The 22-year-old is contracted to Wolves, but he has struggled to get near the XI for the Premier League side, so he spent last season out on loan.
After starting the season with Plymouth, Cundle followed Steven Schumacher to the Bet365 Stadium, and he featured in 16 games, scoring twice and registering the same number of assists as Stoke stayed in the Championship.
Luke Cundle could’ve helped Stoke City this season
Given Cundle’s contribution last season, it had been claimed that a return to Stoke was on the cards in the summer.
But, for whatever reason, a deal couldn’t be reached, with Cundle remaining at Molineux, and he hasn’t played for Gary O’Neil’s side in the current campaign.
So, it has probably frustrated the player that he couldn’t secure a switch to Stoke, and it certainly felt like a missed opportunity for fan pundit Sam, who picked Cundle when he was asked by FLW about a transfer target he wished the club had signed in the past.
