Stoke City beat the deadline to seals a loan move for Eidur Gudjohnsen and have also signed Marc Wilson and Jermaine Pennant.

The Icelandic star arrived in the Potteries on Tuesday to discuss terms and common ground was found before the window came down at 6pm.

Monaco gave the green light to the move earlier in the day and the player will now spend the rest of the season at the Britannia.

The former Chelsea man will be joined at the club by Wilson who has sealed his move from Portsmouth and Pennant.

The deals for Gudjohnsen and Wilson were widely expected, but the move for Pennant came as something of a surprise and he will spend the next six months on loan from Real Zaragoza.
