Salif Diao moves to Stoke
-
Salif Diao has joined Stoke from Liverpool on a permanent deal for the rest of the season.
The Senegal midfielder had spent the last three months on loan with the Championship outfit.
But now he's made the move permanent and will be at the Britannia Stadium until at least the summer.
"We have had a nervous few weeks waiting to get the paperwork sorted out to get Salif here," Tony Pulis told Liverpool's official website.
"But we are very relived to finally get him here on a permanent basis. You only have to look at the amount of points we gathered while he was here to see what an important player he is to this football club."
Diao signed for Liverpool in the summer of 2002 after impressing during the World Cup finals in Japan and South Korea, and went on to make 59 appearances, scoring three goals. -
