Stoke Agree 3-year Deal to sign Choupo-Moting

English Media, Daily Mail says Stoke City have agreed a three year deal for Schalke forward Jean-Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

The Hamburg-born Cameroon international is out of contract and will join on a free transfer.

Choupo-Moting is technically good and can play as a left winger or secondary striker. He was at Stoke on Sunday 6 August 2017 ahead of completing his move.

Manager Mark Hughes wants versatility in his front line after selling Marko Arnautovic and Jon Walters and the 28-year-old Choupo-Moting can provide that.

Though he only scored three goals for Schalke from the wing last season, he has 13 in 42 appearances for Cameroon.

Stoke have held talks with Juventus over a deal for midfielder Mario Lemina though Southampton have now agreed an £18million deal for the 23-year-old.
