Hughes earns Butland to stay at Stoke

Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has urged Jack Butland to stay put amid potential interest from some of the Potters rivals, according to the Daily Star.

A whole host of Premier League clubs could be on the lookout for a new goalkeeper this summer with Manchester United, Everton, Liverpool and Chelsea all considering bringing in reinforcements.

Butland established himself as one of England’s best keepers before succumbing to a long term injury back in August and now the twenty-four year old has returned to first team action, he is back in demand.

He made his fiftieth appearances for Stoke as they drew 2-2 with Bouremouth on Saturday afternoon and his manager believes the shot stopper would be better suited being at a club where he is guaranteed first team football.

Stoke host Arsenal in Saturday’s late kick off, and the home win can be backed at a price of 17/4.
