'It makes no sense' - Fans stunned as Stoke City agree £12 million fee with Inter Milan for Xherdan Shaqiri

Premier League outfit Stoke City have reportedly agreed a £12 million fee with Inter Milan for Xherdan Shaqiri.

The 23-year-old midfielder only signed for the Serie A side in January, but it doesn't seem as though he will play any part in Roberto Mancini's long-term plans.

So you can forget the San Siro, the Switzerland international could be plying his trade at the Britannia Stadium next season, if he can agree personal terms with the Potters.

The former Bayern Munich and Basel midfielder's arrival would be a superb signing as manager Mark Hughes looks to raise the bar and challenge for a place in Europe during the forthcoming campaign.

But what does Shaqiri's arrival mean for Stoke City? Are they punching above their weight? Or are the club about to pull off a transfer coup that will leave ther domestic rivals green with envy?

talkSPORT has found the best reaction to Shaqiri's proposed move to Stoke City and you can see it in full below...
