PSG sign Choupo-Mouting from Stoke City

Paris St Germain have completed a shock transfer for Stoke City attacking midfielder Eric Maxim Choupo-Mouting. The player scored five goals last season as Stoke were relegated to the Championship.

PSG made their first offer for the player last month that had been rejected by the Championship side, but upped their offer to a reported 8.5 million euros this week and the player had agreed terms on transfer deadline day.

"I am extremely honoured to be signing for this big European club PSG," Choupo-Moting told Les Parisiens' official website. "I would like to thank the directors and the coach for the confidence they have shown in signing me.

"I will give my absolute maximum out on the pitch, every day, to show my dedication to my new club.

"Coming to France, a big football country, is a fantastic moment in my career. I will be playing with some extraordinary teammates and I cannot wait to experience the atmosphere at Parc des Princes!"

The player has signed a deal with PSG until 2020.
