Stoke sign Slovakia striker Bozenik from Boavista

Robert Bozenik has won 52 caps for Slovakia

Stoke City have made their second signing in as many days after agreeing a three-year deal with Slovakia striker Robert Bozenik.

The 25-year-old joins on a free transfer after leaving Portuguese second tier side FC Boavista and is the Potters' sixth new recruit before the start of the Championship season next month.

Bozenik began his career with MSK Zilina in his homeland before moving to the Netherlands with Feyenoord in January 2020.

He scored three times in 21 top-flight appearances before joining German second-tier side FC Dusseldorf on a season-long loan in 2021-22.

Bozenik signed for Boavista at the end of that campaign and has scored 17 goals in 87 games in Portugal's top division before the club's relegation at the end of last term.

Bozenik played for his country at Euro 2024 and has scored seven international goals in his 52 caps.

"He's a hardworking, selfless striker with international experience and the quality to make a real impact here," Stoke sporting director Jonathan Walters told the club website.

"We're pleased to have moved decisively to bring him in ahead of several clubs, from top leagues, who were strongly interested in him."

Bozenik's arrival follows Wednesday's signing of Tottenham defender Ashley Phillips with full-back Aaron Cresswell, centre-back Maksym Talovierov, winger Sorba Thomas and striker Divin Mubama already brought in by head coach Mark Robins this summer.
