Stoke City believe Bojan Krkic will leave the club this month.

The Daily Mail reports that the Potters are expecting Bojan to depart Bet365 Stadium, having featured a total of 12 times this season.

The Spanish forward has been linked with Middlesbrough and could be on his way out in the winter transfer window, with a shift to the Riverside Stadium to link up with fellow countryman Aitor Karanka on the cards.

Stoke's pursuit of West Bromwich Albion's Saido Berahino has further unsettled former Barcelona man Bojan who is eyeing pastures new in a bid to resurrect his career.
