Stoke have completed the signing of Dave Kitson
for a club record of £5.5m.
The 28-year-old striker has agreed a three-year deal with the
Potters after scoring 54 goals in 111 league starts for Reading,
including 10 last year.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis told the club's website: "I think he's a
natural goalscorer with great ability, while he's one that will
work his socks off."
The transfer fee smashes the Potters previous record of £2m paid
for Ryan Shawcross in January.
