Stoke City reportedly bid for Jack Butland, door now open for Begovic to Chelsea?

Earlier we heard that Chelsea may be preparing a bid for Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, but Stoke would seemingly have very little reason to sell their first choice keeper in the middle of their season. That could all change if Stoke were to sign a new goalkeeper though, especially if it was a young, talented player that has already clear that he'd need to see continued minutes in order to talk about a move. Enter Jack Butland:

#SCFC Stoke bid for #BCFC Butland. #NCFC still after Curtis Davies & offering Leon Barnett on loan but clubs can't agree cash price
