Stoke City boss Steve Cotterill is waiting on striker Rikki Dadason to decide if his future lies with Stoke or not. The Icelandic international is in talks with Norwegian giants Lillestrom, who will look to sign Dadason on a pay-as-you-play scheme.

Stoke are been made to wait on a decision and are unsure where the striker will be next season, if Dadason moves to Norway then Stoke will have to nmove fast to bring in a replacement.

Stoke's Director of Football John Rudge told the clubs official website the situation. "As far as we understand it, nothing has been resolved yet and we are stilll waiting to hear something fresh.

"These things take time to get sorted out.

"Lillestrom are in the middle of their season but I believe they have not got a game for a couple of weeks, so there will be no immediate urgency to get Rikki signed.

"That could be why it is taking a while."
