The impressive sum of 14 million euros was not spared for London striker Peter Crouch.
The deal, under which the Englishman signed a four-year contract, took place just before the transfer window closed. However, initially "Stoke" will pay 12 million euros, and the remaining amount will depend on additional conditions.
"Over the past five years, we have taken an incredibly big step forward, as evidenced by the acquisition of footballers of such a high level," said "Stoke" manager Tony Scholes. - Our ambitions are huge."
This summer, "Stoke" shook hands with players like Jonathan Woodgate, Matthew Upson, Cameron Jerome, Wilson Palacios.
Last season, Crouch played in 34 matches in the Premier League, starting in 20 of them, scoring four goals. He also managed to score the same number of goals in 9 matches in the Champions League.
