Stoke City: Phil Jagielka and Lewis Baker complete permanent moves

Stoke City have signed former England defender Phil Jagielka on a deal until the end of the season as well as Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker on a two-and-a-half-year contract.

Jagielka, 39, had to be released by Derby on Friday after the EFL refused to approve a contract extension for the in-administration Rams.

Baker, 26, joins the Potters from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee.

The England Under-21 international had a 16-year association with the club.

But he failed to make a senior league appearance at Stamford Bridge and spent the majority of his time on loan with various clubs across Europe and in the English Football League.
