Stoke boss Mark Hughes is a big admirer of the midfielder having worked with him during his time in charge of Manchester City and he is keen for a reunion.
Ireland is keen to leave Villa Park in search of regular first-team football as he looks to kick-start his career.
Stoke are now ready to complete a season-long loan deal as Hughes looks to bolster his squad before the close of the transfer window.
