MARKO ARNAUTOVIC has signed a new four-year deal at Stoke City to kill any possible move from Everton.

The Austrian had been holding out for £80,000 a week to stay - but Mark Hughes has managed to keep his man at the Bet365 Stadium.

Stoke signed exciting Egyptian winger Ramadan Sobhi on Monday as competition to Arnautovic and fellow speedster Xherdan Shaqiri.

He netted 14 times last season as he cemented a place in the first-team for the Potters and Hughes has been desperate to retain his services after Euro 2016.

Arnautovic joined Stoke from Werder Bremen in 2013 and has gone on to become a fans favourite.

The Austrian is represented by his brother Danijel and the signing of Joe Allen and the possibility of Saido Berahino have convinced him his future is at Stoke.
