Stoke have confirmed the signing of Tottenham midfielder Wilson Palacios for an undisclosed fee.

Palacios, 27, penned a four-year contract at the Britannia Stadium after being deemed surplus to requirements by Tottenham.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis said: ''This is a fantastic deal for the 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.

''He has great energy and the qualities to become a driving force in the middle of the park; the type of player our fans will love. We have been looking to strengthen our options in midfield and I am delighted to have him on board.''

The Potters are also closing on a move for Spurs striker Peter Crouch, who is at the club discussing the terms of a possible £10 million move.

Meanwhile, Stoke have confirmed the signing of Birmingham striker Cameron Jerome on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
