Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has confirmed to Sky Sports News that the club are in talks with West Ham United over Dean Ashton.
It was revealed on Wednesday that the Potters were considering a bid for the striker, who has not played first-team football since August 2008.
The 25-year-old underwent ankle surgery earlier this year and is said to be nearing a return to training ahead of the new season.
Ashton signed for the Hammers from Norwich in 2006 for £7.25million and has made 46 league appearances since the move, scoring 15 goals.
