Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has revealed why he joined Stoke City.

The former Schalke attacker signed with the club as a free agent this summer.

Having played in the Bundesliga all his life, the Cameroon international wanted to challenge himself in the 'most-watched league in the world'.

"It had always been my ambition to play in the most-watched league in the world. It's every footballer's dream," he told Sky Sports.

"I wanted a new adventure. I took my time deciding my move as I spoke with several Champions League and Europa League clubs but Stoke gave me the best feeling. I like the area and my family is happy."
