Begovic Begs for move?

Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has been linked with a transfer to some top English clubs; both the Manchester Clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been linked with the signing of the 6’5” Bosnia and Herzegovina goalkeeper after he has really impressed for Stoke so far this season.

As he is under contract at the Britannia until 2016 Stoke are expected to cash in on the Stoke number 1. The signing of  Jack Butland the Birmingham and England under 21 goalkeeper was at a reported 3.3 million pounds may just have brought the move of Begovic may be one step closer.

However despite all the talk of the Bosnian moving somewhere else during the summer he has had a few interviews; one of which being with the Sentinel (Staffordshire newspaper) he said he is happy to stay at Stoke and did not mention a move.

Begovic has been outstanding for the Potters this season and has beaten off the likes of  Thomas Sorensen and Carlo Nash for the Stoke number 1 shirt and has become a fans favourite at the Britannia and despite Manchester United  reportedly scouting him he says he is unaffected by it and just wants to focus on his future at Stoke, this should be received as good news for Stoke fans who have had a tough year after not winning since early February and not won on the road since a 1-0 victory over West Brom at the start of December.
