Stoke have sealed the signing Richard Cresswell from Leeds.
The Potters moved for Cresswell after a proposed move to Hull fell through earlier this week.
Cresswell arrives at the Britannia Stadium for an undisclosed fee after agreeing personal terms and passing a medical.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis was delighted to land the former Preston and Sheffield Wednesday hit-man.
Top player
"He is a top player, a very hard worker and he has great finishing ability too, so he will be a very good signing for this club," said Pulis.
Cresswell is set to be joined at Stoke by Sunderland defender Stephen Wright.
Stoke have agreed a loan deal with Sunderland for Wright and he is expected to tie up the formalities of the move in the next 24 hours.
