Paris Saint-Germain have completed the surprise signing of Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from Stoke City ahead of the transfer deadline in France.
Choupo-Moting scored five Premier League goals in his sole season with Stoke as they were relegated, but Ligue 1 champions PSG have swooped to secure the 29-year-old on a two-year contract.
Coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed the imminent arrival of the Cameroon international earlier on Friday and, after signing Juan Bernat from Bayern Munich, Choupo-Moting maked an unlikely conclusion to PSG's business in this window.

"I am extremely honoured to be signing for this big European club, Paris Saint-Germain," Choupo-Moting told PSG's official website.
"I would like to thank the directors and the coach for the confidence they have shown in signing me. I will give my absolute maximum out on the pitch, every day, to show my dedication to my new club.
"Coming to France, a big football country, is a fantastic moment in my career. I will be playing with some extraordinary teammates and I can't wait to experience the atmosphere at the Parc des Princes!"
