PSG loans Spanish forward Jese to Stoke for rest of season

PARIS (AP) - Paris Saint-Germain has loaned forward Jese to Premier League club Stoke for the rest of the season.

PSG says the deal does not include an option to buy the 24-year-old Spaniard, who remains contracted to the club until 2021.

Jese has failed to settle at PSG since joining from Real Madrid last season. He has not played so far this season and does not figure in coach Unai Emery’s plans.

In January, PSG loaned him to Spanish club Las Palmas, where he scored three goals in 13 games.

Stoke chief executive Toby Scholes says Jese “is hungry to make a big impression in the Premier League.”
