Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has no regrets turning down Chelsea.

The keeper rejected a switch to ­Stamford Bridge in 2013 while with Birmingham, despite City accepting a £3.5million offer.

"I never regretted my decision," said Butland, who will be aiming to keep a clean sheet at Sunderland today.

“Whenever you move you want to get into the team and make an ­impression straight away.

“It was difficult to start with, but I never lost my head or enthusiasm, I knew it was going to come around, I just needed to show it."
