Asmir Begovic: 'My future is at Stoke City'

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has revealed that he wants to stay at the Britannia Stadium for the foreseeable future.

The Bosnian had been linked with a summer exit following reported interest from Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

However, since the speculation has cooled, Begovic has decided to stay put under new manager Mark Hughes for the 2013-14 campaign.

"I always tried to stay focused and not concentrate on outside things," The Sentinel quotes Begovic as saying.

"You never know for sure in football what can happen, of course, but as far as I am concerned I am happy things are settled.

"I am happy to stay and I am not looking for a move. It's where I see my future."

Begovic will face competition from new arrival Jack Butland.
