Jack Butland "not thinking" about Asmir Begovic's Stoke City future

Jack Butland insists that he is "not thinking" about Asmir Begovic's future following rumours that the number one goalkeeper could leave Stoke City.

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has insisted that he is not concerned about Asmir Begovic's contract situation, despite the number one shot-stopper standing in his way.

Butland has struggled for first-team action since moving to the Britannia in 2013, resulting in numerous loan spells at clubs beneath the Premier League.

Begovic's long-term Stoke future remains unclear as he has just 15 months left on his current contract.

"I'm not thinking about what Asmir does, but what I do," The Sentinel quotes Butland as saying. "I do need games and it's a discussion I've had with the manager. I'm forever knocking on the door and doing everything I can to put pressure on Asmir and the manager."

Butland has had loan spells at Barnsley, Leeds United and Derby County since joining Mark Hughes's Stoke side.
