Liverpool and Arsenal to battle it out for Stoke City star player

Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal are the two big favourites to sign Stoke City number one and England international Jack Butland, according to online bookmakers Sky Bet.

Liverpool are currently the stand out favourites to sign the 25-year-old with odds of 1/1 but Arsenal’s odds aren’t much further out at just 11/4.

Both clubs are in desperate need of a new goalkeeper following the calamities both keepers endured last campaign. Out of every single player that played in the Premier League last season Arsenal’s Petr Cech made the most errors which lead to goals with a massive six errors. Although Lloris Karius had quite a solid season between the sticks last season it’s hard to see him coming back from his horrendous Champions League final. His two errors in the final caused Liverpool to fall to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Spanish giants Real Madrid and see the dreams of the fans and players shattered,

Despite ultimately being relegated with Stoke City, Jack Butland still managed to make a respectable six clean sheets in 35 games. He also managed to book his place on the plane to Russia having been one of Stoke only real stand out players in a season worth forgetting for The Potters.

Stoke City may well be a Championship club now but Jack Butland is certainly not a Championship player. Whoever gets their hands on this excellent talent will have made a real shrewd piece of business. Keep your eyes on this one, it’s going to be an interesting one.
