Real Betis join race to sign Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri?

Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Real Betis.

Shaqiri is nearing the end of his third year with the Potters, and the Swiss international has gone on to score 14 goals in 77 appearances in the Premier League.

However, Stoke currently sit in the bottom three of the top-flight standings and clubs are starting to consider an approach for the attacker ahead of next season.

Earlier this week, a report linked Southampton with a move for the 26-year-old and according to Calciomercato, Betis may try to tempt the player to La Liga.

Betis sit in eighth place in the table, and Los Verdiblancos may have to qualify for the Europa League in order to get a deal over the line.
