It's Holland and Belgium for Eustace

Last updated : 18 July 2003 By Tony Scholes

Eustace has today completed a move from Coventry to Stoke and has signed a three year deal with the Potters, the deal resurrected when Franchise midfielder Damien Francis opted to join Norwich rather than Stoke.

The former Coventry skipper and midfielder, out of favour at Highfield Road, had looked set for Turf Moor earlier in the week but in the end has moved to the Britannia Stadium just as his brother-in-law Andy Cooke has moved on.

Stan clearly wants to strengthen a midfield that constantly let him down last season but just yet there have been no additions whatsoever to that area of the squad.

With Eustace now out of the running and Alex Rae, still a target, set to prefer to fight for his place at Wolves it will mean Stan now looking at other targets in the next three weeks before the season starts for real.
