ARSENAL’S Harry Clarke says he’s looking forward to a spell as Stoke City’s very own Harry Potter – after Michael O’Neill made him his second summer signing.
The 21-year-old Gunner has joined the Potters on season-long loan and says he’s confident he can help O’Neill transform Stoke into a Premier League team again by the end of his stay.

The right-sided-defender said, who has impressed north of the border with Ross County and Hibs, said: “I see Stoke City as a Premier League club like a lot of people do.
“I want to be part of something special here this year, getting the club back to where they belong.
“It feels unreal coming to a club like this.
“It’s been a dream to play in the Championship for a while now so it’s good that it’s finally over the line.

“Obviously we had to deal with leaving Hibs, which had to be done the right way, but I’ve been excited about it ever since I heard about it.
“Michael O’Neill came up to watch a couple of games. We had a good meeting.
“He seems really positive, and he likes me.
“I want to feel wanted so for a manager to come up and see me he’s definitely shown that.”
O’Neill said: “Harry is young and hungry to succeed.
“He’s a fantastic athlete with a great deal of potential.
“We’re delighted to have secured his services for the forthcoming season.”
