"Stoke City" club has been reinforced by the left-back defender of "PSV Eindhoven" team Erik Pieters. The Dutch national team player became the first purchase of the new team's manager Mark Hughes. "Stoke" paid £3 million for this defender. PSV acquired this 24-year-old defender in 2008 for €2.5 million. During this time, the footballer has been called up to the national team multiple times and played in 17 matches. "I have always wanted to play in the Premier League. It is a very strong league with great teams and players, so I am looking forward to the new season." "I have formed a good first impression of the Stoke City club, so I can't wait to get out on the field. My job is to defend, but I also don't shy away from helping the team in attack," said the defender.
