Stoke have completed the signing of Eric Maxim Choupo-Mating

The Cameroon international was a free agent after his contract at Schalke expired at the end of last season.

He becomes the Potters fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Darren Fletcher, Kurt Zouma and Josh Tymon.

Stoke chief Tony Scholes said of the acquisition: "Eric has been on our radar for several years and we actually tried to bring him to the club four years ago

"We are understandably thrilled to have secured his signature and Eric is excited about the prospect of playing in the Premier League."
