SOL BIDS FAREWELL TO CITY

SOL Sidibe has sent an emotional message to Stoke City supporters after leaving the club to join PSV Eindhoven for an undisclosed fee.

The 18-year-old son of Stoke hero Mama Sidibe has agreed a four-year contract with the Dutch champions after coming through the Potters' academy.

And taking to Instagram shortly after the move was announced, the French-born England youth international, pictured, posted: "It's very hard to find the right words, but the time has come for me to say goodbye to the club that raised me, that has always been more than a football club for me, my family away from home.

"It has been an absolute honour to play for Stoke and represent this city.

"It is something that I had dreamed of at a young age and I am so grateful that I got to do it on numerous occasions.
