"We are delighted to sign him," Stoke's director of football John Rudge told the club's website.
"He is still a young, improving player who we feel has lots of potential. He is a big strong forward and we see him as an excellent acquisition."
The Mali international made 36 appearances for Gillingham last season - and Rudge revealed there is more to come.
"This is not the end because we are still looking to bring in another couple of forwards as well."
