Stoke boss Hughes determined to keep hold of Begovic

Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is confident keeping hold of Asmir Begovic beyond the summer transfer deadline.

Stoke intend to stand firm and hang on to a keeper the Potters boss regards as one of the best in the world.

Hughes said: "We don't anticipate any movement and it's not a decision to be had now.

"Our view is that he will be here and he will be our keeper. Our view is that if something was presented to us, we wouldn't be interested.

"It would be 'hands-off' if anybody came in. Hopefully we can keep him here for a long time."
