Van Ginkel seals Stoke loan

Stoke City has signed Marco van Ginkel on loan for the 2015-16 season from Premier League champion Chelsea.

Chelsea midfielder Marco van Ginkel has joined Premier League rival Stoke City on a season-long loan.

The Netherlands international becomes Stoke's fourth signing of the summer after Philipp Wollscheid joined on a permanent basis, while Jakob Haugaard and Joselu have also switched to the Britannia Stadium. Keeper Shay Given signing was announced later.

Van Ginkel moved to Chelsea from Vitesse in July 2013, but a serious knee injury in September of that year hindered his progress.
