Club Stoked about Shaqiri's league debut

(Reuters) - Stoke City's new signing Xherdan Shaqiri has impressed all at training and the Premier League club cannot wait for the Swiss midfielder to make his debut against newly promoted Norwich City this weekend, assistant manager Mark Bowen has said. Shaqiri, 23, joined Stoke for a club record fee of 12 million pounds but was forced to sit out the 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday as he was serving a one-match ban he picked up during his time at Inter Milan. "Sadly, it wasn't to be, but if you look at the positives from it then it's great that he's got a full week's training with his new teammates before going into a Premier League game," Bowen told the club's website (www.stokecityfc.com).
