Stoke boss Tony Pulis has been looking for a specialist left-sided
defender for a while now with central defender Danny Wilson filing the
void last season.Twenty-seven-year-old Popov started his career with local Macedonian side Belasica and then moved to Greece with Proodeftiki and AEK Athens. He signed for Red Star Belgrade in 2004 but injuries prevented him from making an impact.
Popov joined Dutch club Heerenveen in July 2008. After two successful seasons in Holland he returned to eastern Europe with Dynamo Kiev. The Macedonian international impressed Tony Pulis in Dynamo’s colors during last season’s Europa League games against Stoke City.
Popov has agreed a deal for the season, with a view to a permanent move. He becomes the second defender Stoke have signed in the close season,after American Geoff Cameron joined from the MLS.
