Stoke City have completed the signing of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from Schalke for an undisclosed fee.
The Cameroon forward, who has joined on a three-year deal, is Mark Hughes’s fourth senior summer signing.
"Eric has been on our radar for several years and we actually tried to bring him to the Club four years ago," Stoke chief executive, Tony Scholes, told stokecityfc.com.
Choupo-Moting, 28, who scored three Bundesliga goals last season, could make his Premier League debut when Stoke travel to Everton on Saturday 12 August.
