Pennant joined Stoke on loan from Real Zaragoza until January on transfer deadline day, along with Marc Wilson and Eidur Gudjohnsen. The Potters had already captured Kenwyne Jones and Jon Walters ahead of the last-gasp action and Pennant was only too happy to join the revolution. He told Stoke City Player: "My agent always told me Stoke were always interested and tried to sign me last season. But it was literally on the last day. "I was in Spain watching Sky Sports News and I saw Eidur (Gudjohnsen) had flown into Stoke and I was thinking ' that's a good signing', but I didn't know at that time I was on my way there too. "Then I got the call from my agent and it was a very attractive move and my agent told me Tony Pulis will definitely get the best out of me." Pennant is likely to be deployed on the right wing by Pulis and, with a clutch of other new forwards in the squad, the former Liverpool man feels the Potters can make waves in the Premier League. "We're looking very strong and this is probably the best Stoke City team the Premier League has ever seen," added the 27-year-old. "If you look at the strikeforce there isn't many better out there, with Kenwyne Jones and Eidur Gudjohnsen. That's a great frontline and with the new additions like myself, plus Matthew Etherington on the other wing, we've got pace." Pennant has already spent two days training with his new side and he has been impressed by the facilities at the club's newly-developed Clayton Woods complex. "They've only been in here a week and it's an impressive place, just as good as at Arsenal and Liverpool so Stoke are definitely moving in the right direction. "Now I can't wait for the first game, if selected or on the bench. I'm usually used to getting abuse but I'm sure now I'm a Stoke player the fans will get behind me all the way."
