4) Asmir Begovic to Chelsea
Another deal involving Stoke City, but this time it’s a departure as Asmir Begovic closes in on a move to Chelsea.
The Bosnian has been linked with Stamford Bridge ever since Petr Cech agreed to join Arsenal for £10.9million earlier on in the summer.
The Blues are in the market for a new number-two and Begovic is the man Jose Mourinho wants.
Stoke have acted fast in replacing Begovic by signing Shay Given from Aston Villa, which was announced last week, and Mark Hughes has since confirmed that he expects the ‘keeper to travel to London soon in order to hold formal talks.
Hughes also believes Begovic will provide healthy competition for Thibaut Courtois.
