Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has shut down talk of selling Xherdan Shaqiri.

The 25-year-old Switzerland international has been linked with a move to Roma as a replacement for Liverpool-bound Mohamed Salah.

When asked about a possible enquiry from Roma, Coates told the Stoke Sentinel: "No, there is nothing in that.

"There are no plans to sell him either. He seems very settled with us and towards the end of the season he came back (from injury) and did well.

"We are settled with him, too, and are hoping to see a good season from him next season."
