Chelsea interested in Butland

Chelsea are considering a move for Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland, according to reports.

Incoming Blues manager Antonio Conte, who takes over the Stamford Bridge hotseat after managing Italy at Euro 2016, is keen to address the keeper situation.

Current Blues stoppers Thibault Courtois and Asmir Begovic have been linked with moves away from the club.

Courtois is being linked with a ÂŁ70m move to Real Madrid, while Begovic appears to be frustrated with only a back-up role.

And they are seemingly eyeing up Butland, 23, as part of their summer rebuilding as they plan to get back in the Premier League title picture next season.

Butland is currently sidelined with a fractured ankle, picked up when playing for England in their recent friendly with Germany. He will miss the rest of this season.

But the injury does not appear to have put off potential suitors, according to The Sun.

He had enjoyed a fine season, prior to the injury, and was set to go to the European Championships with the Three Lions this summer.

  1. If Chelsea were To make A Move For Butland then I’d Say, Get Marc Andre Ter Stegen From Barca or Uilson Pedruzzi de Oliveira From AtlĂ©tico Mineiro in Brazil.
