Stoke City reportedly want £10 million if they are to let go of goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The 23-year-old shot-stopper has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League champions Chelsea, and the 'keeper is believed to have refused to play in a League Cup fixture against Shrewsbury Town in the hope of making a switch to Stamford Bridge.

The Potters boss Tony Pulis had previously maintained that it was the player's decision not to take to the pitch, while the former Portsmouth custodian has since contacted the PFA to indicate that he felt mentally unfit to play a part in the Cup game, but would have played if asked.

Now the Daily Mail claims that the Staffordshire club have placed a £10m asking price if the promising 'keeper is to leave from the Britannia Stadium.

Manchester City have also been linked with a move for Begovic.
