Diouf delighted with new Stoke deal

Mame Biram Diouf is delighted with his new deal at Stoke City.

The Potters say the Senegal striker is being rewarded for his “versatility" with a three-year deal to 2020.

Diouf knows Stoke's last trophy joy was their 2-1 League Cup final victory over Chelsea in 1972.

He said: “There's no reason why we can't win a cup. It's a long time since Stoke City won a trophy and I'd love to be part of a team that did so again."

The 29-year-old has netted 19 times in in 99 matches since joining Stoke three years ago.

And Potters' chief executive Tony Scholes said: “We signed Mame as a striker and over the last 12 months he has proved his versatility in a number of positions.

“He's an extremely important member of Mark's squad and we're delighted he has committed his future to us."
