Stoke City executive Tony Scholes wrote on the official website: "These fantastic deals are a statement of this football club's intent.



"The club has made incredible strides forward over the past five years and to attract players of this calibre shows our ambitions as we look to continue that progress this season and beyond that."



Crouch has signed a four year contract and the deal could be worth a total of 12m GBP to Spurs after performance bonuses.
