Moha El Ouriachi to join Stoke City

Barcelona youngster Moha El Ouriachi will join Stoke City at the end of the season. The forward will link up with former Barcelona moan Bojan at the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke manager Mark Hughes moved quickly to snap up the player, beating the likes of Villarreal and Dutch club Feyenoord to the player's coveted signature.

"We thank Barca for the deal they offered the player and the efforts they have gone to try to renew his contract. But another proposal was really interesting on both a professional and economic level. Moha has the option of joining the first team squad at Stoke and that was irresistible," said el Ouriachi's agent, Raul Verdu.
