Speaking at Friday’s gathering, which was organised by Stoke City and BBC Radio Stoke’s Lucas Yeomans, the 19-year-old added his appreciation for the support he has received since moving to the Potteries.

He said: “I am new to the club and the fans here took the time out of their day to show us that love they have for the club, which we really appreciate.

“They pay their hard-earned money to come and watch us so the least we can do is be at events like this and reciprocate that love and appreciation.

“On social media, the fans have given me a good welcome and now it is just about me repaying their belief out on the pitch.”

The event was the latest in a series of meet the player evening which have been happening around the country all summer.

The night also Ben Wilmot answered fans' questions after bagging his first goal of the season just days before.
