Stoke City poised to sign Xherdan Shaqiri

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes is confident of securing a summer deal for Inter Milan forward Xherdan Shaqiri.

Shaqiri joined the Nerazzurri from Bayern Munich last season, and has since then struggled to settle in Italy.

According to reports, Hughes is set to complete £9m swoop for the Swiss international during the upcoming transfer window.

Shaqiri scored just three goals in 20 games for the Milan giants in all competitions last season.
