Chelsea need a replacement for seemingly Arsenal-bound goalkeeper Petr Cech and Asmir Begovic has already been mooted as a potential candidate by the tabloids.
He’s demonstrated a remarkable consistency during his five campaigns as the Potters’ No.1, in that time claiming the club’s Young Player of the Year, Players’ Player of the Year and Player of the Year awards – so there’s no doubting how highly rated he is at the Britannia.
Stoke executive Tony Scholes has already admitted the 6 foot 6 Bosnian international is probably holding talks with potential buyers, knowing the club will be forced to sell with just a year remaining on his contract.
The tabloids rate the 27 year-old at around £8million – which seems like a decent price for a ‘keeper of proven Premier League pedigree – but whether Begovic would be prepared to play understudy at this point in his career remains to be seen.
