Bournemouth are ready to make a move for Stoke goalkeeper and Crystal Palace target Jack Butland, according to MailOnline.
The Cherries will offer Asmir Begovic as a makeweight to land the England international, who has impressed in the Championship this season, despite Stoke’s misfortunes.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe was reportedly also eyeing up Burnley’s Nick Pope and Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet, but has settled on a move for Butland, who has also been a target for Palace.
Roy Hodgson is reportedly targeting a new goalkeeper this summer, with Wayne Hennessey’s long-term future at Selhurst Park unclear. The Wales international has struggled for game time this season, having been dropped for Vicente Guaita.
Stoke have put a sizeable £30million price tag on the 26-year old shot-stopper, justifying the fee by claiming that Butland is more developed and experienced than Jordan Pickford, who joined Everton from Sunderland last summer for £30million.
