Southampton weigh up bid for Stoke keeper Butland

Southampton are eyeing Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland.

New Saints boss Ronald Koeman feels he's a keeper short and doesn't have confidence in the long-term prospects of Pole Artur Boruc.

The Sun says Saints, boasting a massive £90 million-plus transfer kitty, are ready to make an offer for Stoke keeper Butland.

The England international is strictly second-choice behind Asmir Begovic at the Brit and is unwilling to play out the coming season on the bench.

Butland has also been linked with a new loan move away, having spent last term with Leeds United.
