Important to build a strong dressing room - Walters

Stoke City sporting director Jonathan Walters is satisfied with the state of the first-team squad after making 10 new signings during the summer transfer window.

Transfers into the club included Aaron Cresswell from Premier League West Ham, Wales international Sorba Thomas and French forward Lamine Cisse from Bastia.

"We mainly hit all our main targets and players that we targeted with the recruitment team, with the coaching staff," Walters told BBC Radio Stoke.

The former Stoke player praised the efficiency of his recruitment team with the bulk of the Potters' work conducted in July and early August.
