  • Stoke have completed the signing of Tom Ince from Huddersfield for an initial £10million.

    The fee for the 26-year-old winger, who has agreed a four-year contract with the Championship club, could rise to £12million with add-ons.

    Potters boss Gary Rowett, who previously managed Ince at Derby, told his club’s official website: “I’ve had the fortune to work with Tom before and he’s a terrifically talented player.

    “He’s very strong technically and can play anywhere across the front three, but he’s particularly good from the right-hand side.”

    Ince is the fifth summer arrival as Stoke aim for an immediate return to the Premier League following relegation.

    Rowett has already brought in goalkeeper Adam Federici, Nigeria midfielder Peter Etebo, winger James McClean and striker Benik Afobe.

    Former England Under-21s international Ince spent one season with Huddersfield, scoring twice in 33 Premier League appearances following a move from Derby.

    Town boss David Wagner told his club’s website: “Incey has got a lot of game time for us in the last season and played a big role in helping us to achieve our aim of staying in the Premier League.

    “The value of this deal made sense for us. Tom is a good player, but I’m comfortable that we have good options in the wide positions.

    “We would like to thank Tom for all his efforts and hard work in the last season and wish him the very best for the future.”
