The 34-year-old’s Premier League heroics once earned him a cap for England, but this season at Burnley, he has battled to earn starts in the top level. In his 20 league games, he has only started seven of them and has only scored twice for the struggling Clarets.
Turf Moor’s contract expires in the summer, and TEAMtalk claims that Stoke is planning a bid for the seasoned forward. According to the article, Stoke is rumoured to have coveted him in the past and he is anticipated to go on in the summer.
Rodriguez began his career 17 years ago at Burnley and has had an amazing career since then. In 2010, Rodriguez had a loan spell at Barnsley when he was still a young professional.
He enjoyed a memorable Reds debut, notching in a 4-1 away win over Preston North End. He went on to make a further five appearances for the club but his first goal proved to be his only goal in Barnsley colours.
Rodriguez left Burnley in 2012, spending five years with Southampton before going on to enjoy two at West Bromwich Albion. Burnley brought him back to the club in 2019 and he has been on the books at Turf Moor ever since.
