Stoke hope big Begovic price-tag scares off Chelsea, Tottenham

Stoke City have slapped a £10 million price-tag on goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The Mirror says Stoke boss Tony Pulis is expecting major interest this summer from Chelsea, Spurs and Fulham for the highly-rated Bosnia goalkeeper.

Chelsea had a £5m bid for Begovic rejected last year but are still interested, while Spurs will also step up their attempts to sign him.

But Stoke are determined to keep the 23-year-old and will only sell if they receive a "head-turning" offer.

"We are not under any pressure to sell any of our players," warned Pulis.

Begovic was signed for £3.25m from Portsmouth in January 2010 and has been picked ahead of Thomas Sorensen for league games this season.
