It's official, Stoke City are slowly turning into Barcelona and The Potters are now beating the Catalan giants to signings.
Stoke have confirmed the acquisition of teenage winger Moha El Ouriachi, who rejected a new contract with Barcelona in favour of a move to the Britannia Stadium.
The 19-year-old Moroccan has joined former Camp Nou teammates Bojan Krkic and Marc Muniesa at Stoke as Mark Hughes continues to mastermind the transition from long-ball to tiki-taka.

The signature of El Ouriachi is a significant transfer coup for The Potters after Mark Hughes admitted their £12m bid to bring Inter Milan's Xherdan Shaqiri to the Britannia looks unlikely.
First Bojan, now El Ouriachi, surely it's just a matter of time until we find out if Lionel Messi can do it on a cold rainy night at Stoke?
