Arsenal youngster Harry Clarke will spend the season on loan at Stoke City.
The 21-year-old right-back will test himself in the Championship after enjoying loans at Oldham Athletic, Ross County and Hibernian over the past few years.
"I see Stoke City as a Premier League club like a lot of people do," Clarke said after his move.
"I want to be part of something special here this year, getting the club back to where they belong.
"It feels unreal coming to a club like this.
"It's been a dream to play in the Championship for a while now so it's good that it's finally over the line.
"Obviously we had to deal with leaving Hibs, which had to be done the right way, but I've been excited about it ever since I heard about it.
"Michael O'Neill came up to watch a couple of games. We had a good meeting.
"He seems really positive, and he likes me.
"I want to feel wanted so for a manager to come up and see me he's definitely shown that."
