The talented 26-year-old keeper is currently first choice at Mark Hughes' side but Stoke already have youngster Jack Butland waiting in the wings should Begovic make a move away from the club.<br />

Man City have so far stuck with Joe Hart through his difficulties this season but the club are not afraid to sign another player should one come on the market.<br />

Begovic has been one of the Premier League's consistent goalkeeping performers and is reportedly available for&nbsp;&pound;15m.
