Paris Saint-Germain to sign Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from Stoke City?

Stoke City forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has reportedly emerged as a surprise transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain.

Choupo-Moting moved to the bet365 Stadium last summer, but the Cameroon international only netted five times in 30 appearances in the Premier League as the Potters were relegated.

The 29-year-old has no future at Stoke - who are keen to get the attacker off their wage bill - and according to The Sun, that could result in a surprise exit to PSG.

The Ligue 1 champions are in the market for a versatile frontman having allowed Goncalo Guedes to sign for Valencia, and being able to sign Choupo-Moting for a cut-price could appeal to the French giants due to their issues with FFP.

Choupo-Moting is no stranger to playing in some of European football's top leagues, with spells having already come at the likes of Mainz and Schalke 04.
