Jack Butland admits he is prepared to leave Stoke in his quest to play Champions League football and claim the England No. 1 jersey.
The 24-year-old spent almost all of last year on the sidelines with an ankle injury. But he has returned between the sticks this season and is now targeting a starting spot at the World Cup.
"I've always said and I've never hid the fact that I want to play at the top, be England's No. 1 and win trophies," said Butland, as quoted in the Daily Mirror.
"While I'm at Stoke, I'll always try to do that. But me and the fans, they know I have targets and ambitions, and they'd be happy for me if that [playing in the Champions League] happened. It's good that I've got that sort of relationship with them and the club."
Both Manchester United and Arsenal are apparently keen on Butland, with a potential move to Old Trafford hinging on whether Real Madrid's renewed interest in David De Gea turns out to be genuine.
