\"Peter Crouch scored 24 goals in 82 games for Spurs<\/span> <\/p>\n

Stoke have broken their transfer record to sign Peter Crouch from Tottenham Hotspur in a \u00a312m deal.<\/p>\n

The striker, 30, signed a four-year deal with the Potters completing a busy day for Stoke boss Tony Pulis who also signed Wilson Palacios from Spurs.<\/p>\n

Stoke have paid an inital \u00a310m, but the fee could rise to \u00a312m dependent on the fulfilment of various clauses.<\/p>\n

\n

There has been a real buzz of excitement around the city about where this club is going.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Stoke manager Tony Pulis<\/span><\/div>\n

“These fantastic deals are a statement of this football club’s intent,” said City’s chief executive Tony Scholes.<\/p>\n

“The club has made incredible strides forward over the past five years and to attract players of this calibre shows our ambitions as we look to continue that progress this season and beyond that.”<\/p>\n

Pulis added: “There has been a real buzz of excitement around the city about where this club is going since we reached the FA Cup final and then started our Europa League adventure.<\/p>\n

“These signings certainly add to that great sense of anticipation.<\/p>\n

“Peter has an excellent goalscoring record at the highest level. His goals-per-games ratio for England is remarkable and he scored seven goals in 10 Champions League games for Tottenham last season which gives you an idea of his pedigree.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
