Peter Coates doubts Stoke City will make more signings

Xherdan Shaqiri is likely to be the last summer signing at Stoke City, says chairman Peter Coates.

Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has suggested that Xherdan Shaqiri will be the club's last signing this summer.

The 23-year-old completed a club-record £12m deal to join the Potters today, making him their 12th summer signing.

The Midlands side have also been linked to the likes of Andriy Yarmolenko and Adama Traore, but Coates said that he is not expecting to do any more business.

He told the club's official website: "I would hope that he is the last signing. In football though you never know what is around the corner. I wouldn't say it is likely, but if something was to come up that made sense then we would look at it, of course.

"We are attracting great players to the Club now because we are progressing on and off the pitch and they are excited by the challenge here."

Stoke started their season with a 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, and next travel to play Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
