Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is confident of his club winning the race to sign Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic on loan.
The Spaniard is wanted by Torino, Deportivo La Coruna, Olympiacos and Hughes' Potters, and is set to make a decision on his future.
Krkic's best off financially comes from Greek champions Olympiacos, but the player has been favouring a stay in Spain, which would lead to Deportivo.
According to Spanish daily El Mundo Deportivo, Hughes is confident that he will get his man however.
Stoke want to take Krkic on a loan deal with an option to make the switch a permanent one should he impress.
