STOKE, England -- Stoke has completed the signing of Swiss international midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri from Inter Milan for a club-record fee of 12 million pounds ($18.68 million).
The Premier League club says Tuesday that the 23-year-old midfielder has signed a five-year deal.
The fee eclipses the 10 million pounds ($15.59 million) which the club paid for striker Peter Crouch in 2011.
