The 23-year-old, who typically operates as an attacking midfielder, joined Inter from Bayern Munich in January.

Shaqiri scored three goals in 20 games for Inter and has 17 in 46 games for Switzerland.

He would become the Potters' third summer signing after striker Joselu joined from Hannover and goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard from FC Midtjylland.

A deal for Shaqiri would top the £10m Stoke paid Tottenham for striker Peter Crouch in 2011.
