Shawcross wants Stoke stay

Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross has no intention of leaving the Britannia Stadium this summer.

The 23-year-old has been linked with both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur but says he is happy to remain with the Potters.

"I suppose if you are linked with clubs it shows you are doing well," Shawcross said. "But I am a Stoke player, I have signed a contract here and I am happy here.
"The chairman has said the club aren't going to sell me. I don't want to leave and I am looking forward to the new season. "Any young player in the Premier League is going to have speculation written about him, but it doesn't bother me."
Shawcross helped Stoke reach the FA Cup final last season where they were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City.
