Udinese midfielder Jakub Jankto remains a target for Stoke City.

The Sentinel says both Stoke and their Premier League rivals West Brom were interested in the 21-year-old Czech international and had sent representatives to Italy to watch him in action.

And now Jankto has told Italian website TMW that he would like to play elsewhere in Europe… and soon.

He said: "I want to play abroad, to try some new experiences. I'm curious, I want to know other things, I certainly do not see myself in Italy too long, certainly not up to 25 years."
