AMSTERDAM – Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu has signed a three-year deal to join Stoke City, MLSsoccer.com has learned.
A source close to the situation confirmed that the the ink is now dry on the US international's new contract, after Edu (above) passed a Potters medical exam over the weekend and his work permit was given the thumbs up by the UK Home Office on Wednesday.
It’s unknown for now whether Stoke can get Edu's move processed in time for him to suit up at Wigan on Saturday. When he is available, the Southern California native could find himself competing with countryman Geoff Cameron for pitch time.
