After a long period of negotiations, the future of the Swiss player - Xherdan Shaqiri - was finally set. Through its official website, the Stoke City announced the arrival of former player of Bayern Munich.
The Potters spent about EUR 17 million to carry out the transfer of the player 23, which became the most expensive signing in club history. Shaqiri signed a five-year contract with the English team, which will use the shirt 22 during the season 2015/2016. The manager Mark Hughes is extremely pleased with the success of the transaction.
"Xherdan is a young, dynamic and explosive player. Will surely bring something different to our squad. With 23 years, it still has great potential and a margin of gigantic improvement. Talked a lot with him and it was clear who is eager to play the Premier League and show what he can do, "said the new commander of Shaqiri.
With origins in Kosovo, Shaqiri was moved to Switzerland, where he was naturalised and started playing football at Basel. He had a spell at Bayern Munich before arriving at Inter Milan, where he ended up not signing and traded. With Stoke, he hopes to revitalise his career and return to good levels presented at the beginning of career.
