Dundee United's Luke Graham is at the center of a transfer chase, with Stoke City and Portsmouth launching bids to sign the young defender.

What's the situation?

The 22-year-old is currently out in Hungary with Dundee United on their pre-season camp, waiting to see what develops and if the club gives him permission to open talks with either side.

Why the interest?

Graham's form saw him shortlisted for the PFA (Scotland) young player of the year award, and he was also called up by Steve Clarke for Scotland’s pre-World Cup squad, where he was on the bench for the win over Curacao.

What's the asking price?

Dundee United want £2m for Graham, with add-ons, after turning down a club-record £1.5million offer from Portsmouth in January.
