Stoke have completed the signing of Eyptian winger Ramadan Sobhi from Al Ahly, the Premier League club have announced.
The Potters have agreed a fee which could rise to £6m for the 19-year-old, who has been capped six times by his country.
Winger Ramadan becomes Mark Hughes' first signing of the summer with Stoke having also tabled a £17m bid, rising to £20m with add-ons, for West Brom's Saido Berahino.
Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes told the club's official site: "We are absolutely delighted to have signed a player of Ramadan's undoubted quality and potential.
"He's a special young talent who is excited about the prospect of making an impact in the Premier League and we're looking forward to giving him that platform."
Sobhi has been granted a work permit and is expected to receive his UK visa in the next 48 hours. He should then join his new team-mates in Orlando later this week where they are in pre-season training.
He is a graduate of the Al Ahly youth system and made his professional debut as a 16-year-old, earning his first international cap a year later.
He helped Al Ahly win the Egyptian League title last season under former Tottenham and Fulham manager Martin Jol.
Swansea City are looking to bolster their attacking firepower and are targeting two strikers before the new season, the Premier League club's chairman Huw Jenkins said.
Swansea have signed midfielder Leroy Fer, defender Mike van der Hoorn and goalkeeper Mark Birighitti, but striker Alberto Paloschi has joined Atalanta and uncertainty surrounds the future of Bafetimbi Gomis.
British media reported that the club have failed to match Stoke City's bid for Wales international and former Swansea midfielder Joe Allen.
"It's pretty obvious we need one, maybe two strikers and another player. Three is probably the minimum," Jenkins said.
"In the next few weeks we will bring some players in. We also have to make sure we keep the squad we've got. We've talked a lot about football and we've got a few options in mind."
