West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen on signing the Stoke City ace.

Jack Butland talks to the press at St Georges Park on May 22, 2018 in Burton-upon-Trent, England.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, West Ham and Wolves have made official enquires to Stoke City over the possibility of signing Jack Butland this summer.

Following the Potters’ relegation down to the Championship, the 25-year-old has become one of the most highly coveted players in England, and it is believed that he is valued at around £30-35 million, according to the Daily Mail.

The British newspaper claims that both West Ham and Wolves have made formal enquires to Stoke about the possibility of signing Butland, but they could face strict competition from Chelsea, with the west London outfit lining up potential replacements for Thibaut Courtois, with the Belgian’s future at Stamford Bridge far from certain.

The seven capped England international is one of the best goalkeepers around.

Standing at 6ft 5in tall, he is physically imposing, and possesses all of the attributes that would definitely improve both West Ham and Wolves.

If either of the two clubs mentioned are prepared to pay the £30 odd million that Stoke expect for his signature, he could turn out to be a real coup.

Quite where he will be plying his trade next season, though, remains to be seen.
