English Premier League side Stoke City today broke its transfer record to sign Switzerland international Xherdan Shaqiri for a fee of £12m.
The 23-year-old Switzerland international, who has 46 caps, has signed a
five-year contract to become the Potters' ninth summer recruit.
The club's previous record signing was striker
Peter Crouch,
whom they paid Tottenham £10m for in 2011.
The Swiss international was supposed to move to the Britannia Stadium, one month ago, but the deal did not go through. He joined Inter Milan from German champions Bayern Munich in January, scoring three goals in 20 games for the Italians.
Shaqiri has scored 17 times for his country.
