Stoke snap up Sobhi

Stoke City have signed Egypt international Ramadan Sobhi from Al Ahly for a fee that could rise to €6million.

The 19-year-old, who Stoke claim to be "widely regarded as the most exciting prospect in African football", becomes the club's first signing ahead of the 2016-17 Premier League season.

Chief executive Tony Scholes said: "We are absolutely delighted to have signed a player of Ramadan’s undoubted quality and potential.

"He’s a special young talent who is excited about the prospect of making an impact in the Premier League and we’re looking forward to giving him that platform."
