Stoke have made a club-record £12million bid for Birmingham centre half Scott Dann.

Liverpool and Tottenham are also considering offers for Dann, 24, after missing out to Manchester United in the race for Blackburn's Phil Jones.

Prize asset: Birmingham are expected to sell Scott Dann following relegation from Premier League

Aston Villa could also enter the running if ex-Birmingham boss Alex McLeish becomes their manager.

But Stoke have made the first move for Dann, who has been widely expected to leave Birmingham since their relegation.

That bid for Dann will increase speculation over captain Ryan Shawcross's future at the Britannia Stadium.

Liverpool would be interested if Stoke indicate they will listen to offers for the £15m-rated defender.

Tottenham are also in the market for a centre back with Sebastien Bassong and Younes Kaboul set to leave White Hart Lane.
