Jese Rodriguez has joined Stoke City on a season-long loan deal after PSG agreed to let the forward leave the Parc des Princes.

The 24-year-old, who failed to establish himself in the French capital last term and spent much of the season on loan at Las Palmas following his reported €25m move from Real Madrid in August 2016, should provide much-needed firepower for the Potters.

Rodriguez is Stoke’s sixth summer signing and follows Darren Fletcher, Kurt Zouma, Maxim Choupa-Moting, Bruno Martins Indi and Josh Tymon through the door at the bet365 Stadium.

 

 

Commenting on the transfer, the club’s chief executive Tony Scholes said: “Jese was a man in demand when PSG made it clear they would allow him to leave on loan and we’re delighted he has chosen to join us.

“He hasn’t had the happiest of periods in his career in Paris but he’s still only a young man and is hungry to make a big impression in the Premier League.”
