Asmir Begovic wants Stoke City stay

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has confirmed that he wants to stay at the club.

The 25-year-old Bosnian has been linked with a move away from the Britannia Stadium in recent weeks, with Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea all thought to be monitoring his situation.

"I am happy to be here and I am happy to stay here," Begovic told the Stoke Sentinel.

"I am looking forward to reporting back in pre-season, meeting the new manager and staff and cracking on with the new season.

"The most important thing is I am at a club where I am settled and I feel comfortable. Everyone has been really good to me and the chairman has been fantastic so I can't really complain."

Begovic joined the Potters from Portsmouth in 2010 for around £3.25m.
