Asmir Begovic eager for Stoke City stay

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic insists that he does not want to leave the club this summer.

Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has revealed that he is keen to stay at the club beyond the end of the season.

The 26-year-old Bosnian has been repeatedly linked with a move away from the Potters in recent months, with Manchester United and Liverpool thought to be among a number of sides monitoring the shot-stopper.

However, Begovic is eager to stay at the Britannia Stadium for the foreseeable future.

"My plan is to be back here [after the World Cup] and be part of the club when we come back for pre-season," he told talkSPORT.

"I like the way that the club is moving forward and the direction it is moving in. I feel comfortable here. I like my teammates, the coaches and everyone, so as far as I am concerned this is where I am going to be.

"It is a business and I understand that side of things, but I am still committed to the club. I have two years left on my contract and this is where I see myself next season."

Begovic arrived at Stoke from Portsmouth in 2010.
