I have no intention to leave Stoke - Jack Butland

England goalkeeper Jack Butland has denied he has asked to leave Premier League strugglers Stoke. The 24-year-old took to Twitter to quash rumours he had asked for a transfer, vowing to fight to secure the club's top-flight future.
He tweeted "Before this spreads any further, I haven't told the club I want to leave, I'm focused on doing everything I can to keep the club in this division!"

Stoke have dropped into the relegation zone with just one win in eight Premier League matches, but Butland has insisted new manager Paul Lambert has the squad redoubling their efforts in training.
