Stoke skipper Shawcross: We must keep Butland

Stoke City captain Ryan Shawcross is eager for Jack Butland to stay.

Butland kept a clean sheet for England against Lithuania last night.

“It's good for Jack and it's good for the club to have him involved with England, but he's had an excellent start to the season," Shawcross told The Sentinel.

“We seem to have a problem that if our keepers play so well they move on so we will have to be careful he doesn't have too many saves to make.

“Jack's signed a long contract and he's a top keeper. Hopefully we can keep him for as long as we can."
