DONE DEAL: Stoke bring in Joselu from Hannover

Stoke City have completed the signing of Jose Luis Sanmartin Mato.


The 25-year old striker, better known as Joselu, has left German club Hannover 96 to join the Potters for a fee of £5.75million.

German-born Joselu, who has featured at youth level for Spain, admits he has now realized a dream by joining a top flight English club.

"I'm so happy to have joined Stoke City; it's a dream for me to join a Club like this and to play in the Premier League," he told the club's official website.

"To play in the Premier League has always been an ambition of mine. It is a fantastic league with great clubs, of which Stoke City is certainly one.

"I know there were other teams in Europe who wanted to sign me but once I had spoken to the people at Stoke I knew I wanted to come here and be a part of this club."
