Stoke City striker Jonathan Walters feels they're capable of a top ten finish this season.

Stoke are now established in the Premier League and Walters believes it is time for the club to make the next step by securing a top 10 finish this term.

"We have a very good squad of players here now, with a great mix of experience and good young talent," he told Stoke's website.

"To have enjoyed the success we have done over the last few years has been incredible, so it is important to keep moving forward like we have done, and try to get in to the top ten for the first time.

"That is the target now, and with the players we have here, there is absolutely no reason why we can't achieve that. It won't be easy, but it is a realistic aim for us given the quality we have here."
