Asmir Begovic in no hurry to renew contract

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic reveals that he is in no hurry to renew his current deal with the Potters but concedes that he is happy at the club.

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has revealed that he is in no hurry to extend his contract with the club.

The Bosnia-Herzegovina international, who has 18 months left on his current deal, insists that he is not in a rush to renew the contract but concedes that he is happy at the club.

"I've been here five years now, I feel I've progressed, improved as a player. I'm now getting to the stage of my career where I want to achieve things, win things," the 27-year-old told Sky Sports News.

"I've got some time left on my current deal; we'll see. We'll discuss things as time goes on. I've not had any discussions about my contract or an extension - that's usually done in the last 12 months of a deal. But I'm happy here, we are trying to build something here. We'll see what happens, but I hope to be a part of that.

"I've got a great relationship with the manager and the chairman here. If things like that come up in the future I'm sure we'll discuss them. Football is a business at the end of the day. But I haven't really thought about it. I'm just focussing on my football, trying to improve as a player, and trying to get Stoke up the table."

Second-choice goalkeeper Jack Butland recently revealed his plans of displacing Begovic as the number one keeper at Stoke, after returning from a loan spell with Derby County.
