Blues are set to make an ambitious attempt to re-sign Jack Butland.
The keeper has reportedly been told he can leave, though it is not clear whether that is a permanent thing or loan move, but Stoke having signed another keeper could see the exit of Butland.
Blues need a keeper and Butland would fill that gap very nicely. He has a good rapport with the fans and would hopefully relish the chance to re-establish himself.
A potential stumbling block would be if Stoke were to sell Begovic, which has been rumoured. Butland will want first team football and if Stoke cannot give him that, a move to Blues be it on loan or permanent could be a good move for all parties.
