Everton and Newcastle have also been linked with a move for the 23-year-old [Daily Express], but it seems that the Potters have all but completed a move ahead of their rivals. Shaqiri was at their defeat to Liverpool on Sunday. The move is a complete surprise, given that the player was winning the Champions League with Bayern Munich just two years ago.
