Stoke City splashed out £500,000 to sign Glenn Whelan from Sheffield Wednesday on transfer deadline day.

The Potters made the move to sign the midfielder after allowing John Eustace to sign for Championship rivals Watford.

Whelan has penned a three-and-a-half year deal at the Britannia Stadium.

"Glenn is a player that we have been chasing for some time and we are delighted that we have finally secured his signature," director of football John Rudge told the club's official website.

The 24-year-old is manager Tony Pulis' sixth signing of the transfer window following the arrivals of Ryan Shawcross, Leon Cort, Danny Pugh, Andy Griffin and Paul Gallagher.
