Stoke City have signed Switzerland international midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri, from Inter Milan for a club record fee of about £12m. The 23 year old only joined Inter last January from Bayern Munich. He scored 3 goals in 20 appearances for Inter. However he is a more prolific goalscorer for his country as he netted 17 times in 46 games for Switzerland. It is a huge success for Stoke manager Mark Hughes to be able to sign such a talented creative midfielder, as he has been trying to change the style of football Stoke plays for the last few years.
Porto's Colombia striker Jackson Martinez, have signed for Atletico Madrid in a £24.8m deal. The Colombia striker was a target of Arsenal, but Atletico agreed to match the release clause. Martinez has been a regular goalscorer for Porto, as he netted 67 goals in 90 games and finishing as the Primeira Liga's top scorer in each of his three seasons.
