Stoke sign striker Gallagher from Blackburn

Stoke City have signed striker Sam Gallagher from Blackburn Rovers for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old, who joined Rovers from Southampton in 2019, has signed a three-year deal to become Potters boss Steven Schumacher's fourth summer signing - in marked contrast to the summer of 2023, when the club brought in 19 players.

It follows the arrivals of goalkeeper Viktor Johansson and defenders Ben Gibson and Eric Bocat.

“Sam has a wealth of Championship experience," said Stoke sporting director Jon Walters.

"That’s something we wanted to bring into our forward line to complement the players we already have and others we are looking to bring in.
