Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic says that he is planning to stay at the club beyond the summer.

Asmir Begovic has responded to reports that have linked him with a summer move away from Stoke City by stating that he is "happy" at the club.

Recent speculation has linked the Bosnian goalkeeper with a host of clubs, including Barcelona, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

England international keeper Jack Butland will also arrive at the Britannia Stadium this summer, but Begovic has insisted that he is planning to stay put.

"All the speculation is flattering and nice, but I am focused on my job here. As long as Stoke want me, I am contracted. I know football is a business and we will see what happens," he told The Sentinel.

"You never know what is around the corner, but as far as I am concerned I am planning to be here. I am happy here and I am desperate to help the club push forward. We all want to win trophies and be as successful as we can, that is the main aim.

"I do have ambitions to play at the highest level and test myself if the opportunity arises. I can't think too much ahead. I am just thinking about here. I am contracted and there's nothing more I can say."

The 25-year-old joined the Potters in 2010 from Portsmouth.
