VfB Stuttgart sports chief Sven Mislintat has trumped a host of Premier League clubs to land Stoke City teen Mohamed Sankoh.

The Holland U17 international has agreed to join VfB, despite rival offers from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Mislintat's former club Arsenal.

"We are delighted to be able to win a highly predisposed offensive talent in joint efforts with all the sports leaders for us and with Mo and to further promote his high development potential in the coming years," the Stuttgart youth development center director Thomas Krucken said.

"We will carefully and specifically introduce him to the requirements of the men's area and start his path at VfB in the U19s."
