Crouch Joins Stoke As Part Of Triple Swoop

Stoke has completed a triple deadline day swoop by signing Peter Crouch, Wilson Palacios and Cameron Jerome.

Tony Pulis' side fought off competition from QPR and Sunderland to land Crouch, with the England striker arriving in a £10m deal from Tottenham.

The Potters also raided Tottenham for midfielder Palacios, who moved to White Hart Lane from Wigan for £12m in January 2009 but had recently fallen down the pecking order.

On the deal Tony Pulis remarked: "This is a fantastic deal for the Football Club because Wilson has proved himself to be a top class performer at the highest level.

"He has a considerable amount of international experience and played a prominent part in getting Tottenham into the Champions League only two years ago.

Striker Jerome, 25, has joined for an undisclosed fee, having been heavily linked with a move away from Birmingham since their relegation to the Championship.
