Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in signing Jack Butland from Stoke City in the summer transfer window, according to The Mirror.

It has been reported that United, City, Arsenal and Chelsea all are keeping tabs on the 24-year-old goalkeeper, who has only just returned from a long-term ankle injury.

Butland is a hugely promising and talented goalkeeper, and in the coming years he could develop into a world-class player.

The England international, though, is not letting (reported) interest from the likes of United, City, Arsenal and Chelsea affect him.

“I see it as a really positive thing,” Butland told The Mirror regarding interest in him. “It is nice to be recognised, I must be doing something right.

“But I also have to remember I have been out for a year now and I just need to get back to doing what I love doing and the rest will take care of itself.”

Butland is a very good goalkeeper, and the Stoke star would be a great signing for any of the top clubs in England.

While reported interest from the likes of United and Arsenal must be flattering, the former Birmingham City man needs to be careful regarding his next move.

The 24-year-old has only just made his comeback from a long-term injury, and for now, he needs to play regularly in order to get back to his best.
