Liverpool Switch Would Not Guarantee First-Team Football - Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross
In-demand defender happy to continue as a Potter.
Stoke City centre-back Ryan Shawcross has been attracting interest from an elite of Premier League clubs but has publicly reiterated his interest in continuing to kit out for Tony Pulis' Potters, as he could not be guaranteed regular first-team football at a top-four club.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is reportedly an admirer of Shawcross' defensive nous, while Arsenal, Manchester United, Fulham, Everton, and West Ham United have also been linked with a move for the player.
The Sun quoted Shawcross as saying: "I am very happy here. If I moved to a big club like Liverpool, I might not play.
"So my aim is to stay at Stoke and we're talking about a new contract right now.
"I have two years left after this one and we are hoping to sort it out for longer."
The Manchester United-educated defender signed for Stoke in 2008, but interest in the 22-year-old escalated last season when he proved an influential player in the Trent-based club's impressive ability not only to maintain their Premier League status, but also to achieve a mid-table finish.
