Stoke have completed the signing of Dave Kitson for a club record of £5.5m.
The 28-year-old striker has agreed a three-year deal with the Potters after scoring 54 goals in 111 league starts for Reading, including 10 last year.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis told the club's website: "I think he's a natural goalscorer with great ability, while he's one that will work his socks off."
The transfer fee smashes the Potters previous record of £2m paid for Ryan Shawcross in January.
