Steve Davis, a former youth defender for Stoke City, is leading Luke Cundle’s journey to Wolves’ youth department and is confident about Cundle’s chances of succeeding at the bet365 Stadium.
After Steven Schumacher signed Cundle on loan at Plymouth Argyle late in the summer, Wolves called him back. Cundle will now play another loan with Stoke until the end of the season, where he will once again be reunited with Schumacher. The 21-year-old central midfielder, who rose to prominence at Swansea City last year, is currently on his third loan stint in the Championship.
With 68 senior career matches under his belt, he has the potential to improve even further. During his half-season at Plymouth, he had scored five goals and set up another six.
Stoke City’s financial status is disclosed in the most recent Bet365 filings.
According to Davis, Luke was heavily influenced by Steven Schumacher, who brought him to Plymouth during the summer and expressed a desire for that kind of player at Stoke. He is aware of what Stoke needs, and he believed Luke might provide some creativity and a goal threat. There was no rush to take Luke away because he was having such a terrific run at Plymouth, but things moved swiftly and Luke wanted to try his luck.
His play style was a natural fit for Swansea, where he was able to demonstrate his abilities on his first loan. At Plymouth, he took off from there. We always thought he could effectively link the play, but at Plymouth, he added goals and assists. Now maybe he can maintain that form and help Stoke move up the league. Progress must be continuously observed, and he has demonstrated that with each loan.
Stoke is familiar with their system and knows exactly what they’re bringing in. He can play the way they want to. Working together is a big plus, so Luke should have no trouble adjusting and hopefully be just as reliable as he was at Plymouth.
After goalkeeper Daniel Iversen, who joined on loan from Leicester, Cundle is Stoke’s second acquisition of the January transfer window. He might make his debut on Saturday at Rotherham.

Luke Cundle, a midfielder for Wolves, is now on loan to Stoke City in the Championship for the remainder of the year.
Earlier in the season, the 21-year-old played for Potters manager Steven Schumacher at his previous club, Plymouth.
It’s a new phase for me, and I’m excited to be here at Stoke City, a huge club,” Cundle remarked.
“Having previously worked with the boss and his team, I am well acquainted with them. I find his methods of motivating his teammates to play and his ideas to be incredibly appealing.
“He plays front-foot, attacking, high-energy football, which fits my style of play since everyone runs and passes forward. I’m excited to get going and let my football speak for itself.
His style of attacking, high-octane football, in which players sprint and pass forward, fits my style of play. I can’t wait to get started and let my football speak for itself.”
After graduating from Wolves’ youth, Cundle made his senior debut in a September 2019 League Cup match against Reading.
Before spending the previous season on loan at Swansea City, he made four Premier League appearances for the Molineux club in 2022, starting games against Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle.
Technical director at Stoke, Ricky Martin, stated: “Luke is one of the most gifted young players in the area, and Steven believes his enthusiasm and disposition will benefit our team.
“We have strong connections with Wolverhampton Wanderers, they believe Luke’s development will be well served with us, and we are equally excited by what he can bring to our side between now and the end of the season.”
