Stoke have signed Leeds striker Richard Cresswell, reports BBC Radio Stoke. The Potters moved quickly for the 29-year-old after his proposed switch to Hull collapsed on Wednesday.
Boss Tony Pulis told Stoke's website: "I wasn't aware of his availability until I got a call the other day. There have been a number of clubs after him. "I am absolutely delighted to be signing him. I think he is a top player and a very hard worker and has great finishing ability." Cresswell had agreed personal terms with Hull but the Tigers pulled out of a deal after expressing concerns following the player's medical. The former Preston star scored 11 goals in 44 appearances for Leeds since arriving for £1.5m in 2005. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
