Talks continue between MLS and Premier League outfit

Houston Dynamo are hopeful that the deal to take their defender Geoff Cameron to Stoke City will soon go through. Stoke have made a firm offer to sign the American international defender, but they have yet to agree a fee. Major League Soccer own the rights to every player, so Stoke have to negotiate with the league rather than Houston themselves. Reports in America claim Stoke bid $1million (£650,000) but MLS want closer to $3million (£1.9million) for the 27-year-old. After talks in England last week, Cameroon returned to the States and even played in their 4-0 win over DC United at the weekend. "I think (Monday is) a key day in determining whether or not the transfer is going to happen or not," Dynamo president Chris Canetti said in the Houston Chronicle. "We had a positive weekend where there were good discussions and both sides kind of understood what it's going to take to make a deal happen. "We will share proposals and see if we can get closer to a deal." Cameron hopes that the win over DC United was his last for Houston. "It was a great way to end it here, especially if it was my last game," Cameron said. "Can't thank the Dynamo fans enough. They were amazing and always are."
