Stoke City have signed defender Maksym Talovierov from Plymouth Argyle on a three-year deal and striker Divin Mubama on a season-long loan from Manchester City.
Ukraine international Talovierov, 25, joins the Potters for an undisclosed fee after a six-month spell at Argyle in which he shone during the FA Cup upset of Liverpool and scored the opening goal against Manchester City in the following round.
Mubama, 20, arrives off the back of a debut season at Manchester City in which he netted his first senior goal for the club in a 8-0 romp against Salford in the FA Cup.
Talovierov and Mubama join Sorba Thomas, who moved from Huddersfield Town last month, as Stoke's three new arrivals so far this summer.
"I always dreamed of playing in England and the Championship is a tough but special league - and I know how big and ambitious a club this is," Talovierov told Stoke's website., external
After Argyle head coach Miron Muslic's departure to Schalke, Talovierov becomes the sixth high-profile player to leave Home Park this summer following Ryan Hardie, Daniel Grimshaw, Adam Randell, Jordan Houghton and Mustaphu Bundu.
"He plays with his heart as well as his head, and he already has valuable experience of Championship football under his belt as well," Stoke's sporting director Jon Walters added.
Meanwhile, Mubama, who joined Manchester City from West Ham last summer, has been given the Potters' number nine shirt for the upcoming season.
"Stoke City is a massive club, I'm excited to be here and determined to work hard, score goals and do everything I can to help the team," Mubama told the club site., external
