Diouf helped Stoke finish ninth in the league standings in his first two seasons at the club until that run was broken last term when they finished 13th.

"Another top 10 finish this season is the immediate ambition but we should be targeting the next step, an even higher finish, and success in one of the cup competitions," Diouf told the club's website (www.stokecityfc.com) on Thursday.

"There's no reason why we can't win a cup; it's a long time since Stoke City won a trophy and I'd love to be part of the team that did so again."

Stoke have five points from four matches in the Premier League this season and visit 10th-placed Newcastle United, who have six points, on Saturday.
