Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland has revealed that he is enjoying playing in the Premier League on a consistent basis.

The England international has established himself as Stoke's first-choice goalkeeper following the departure of Asmir Begovic to Chelsea in the summer and is determined to continue on in the manner in which he has kicked off the new season.

"I am enjoying the opportunity to play in the Premier League," he said.

"I feel positive, strong, fit and sharp.

"I am really happy with where things are at the minute and just trying to play with a smile on my face, enjoy every minute I get for Stoke and try to keep the ball out of the net.

"If I can keep doing that, then hopefully I will stay in this squad and maybe get a few more opportunities."
