18-8-10: Stoke have signed Jon Walters on a four-year deal from Ipswich for an initial transfer fee of £2.75m, which could rise by a further £500k depending upon appearances. "I have been looking to bring more goals to the squad and Jon certainly fits that bill," said Stoke boss Tony Pulis. "He has been one of the outstanding performers in the Championship over the past three years and I am confident the lad can make the same sort of impact in the Premier League now that he has been given this opportunity. "The fact that he is versatile will increase competition for places in the squad which is something we have been looking to achieve."
