2) Giannelli Imbula – FC Porto to Stoke City – £18.3million
It was the biggest deal of Transfer Deadline Day and it’s a massive signing for Stoke City.
It’s a deal that showcases just how far The Potters have come in recent months. Signing the likes of Bojan, Xherdan Shaqiri and now Giannelli Imbula.
It’s a massive fee on his head, but he comes with a brilliant reputation and he’s just the type of player Mark Hughes has needed for the centre of midfield.
Stoke lost Steven N’Zonzi over the summer to Sevilla and they failed to replace him.
However, in Imbula, they now have the perfect replacement.
