Stoke City v Newcastle United - Premier League
Jack Butland

Jack Butland was quite literally Stoke City's only redeeming feature last season. He, like Jack Grealish for Aston Villa, is Stoke's standout player. He's a name that doesn't fit the club, so when Chelsea were named as the frontrunners to sign Butland this summer, it didn't come as much of a surprise.

Where might Jack Butland end up?

As stated above, Chelsea look to be the team to get Butland's signature before the window closes in August, despite Stoke boss, Gary Rowett, claiming that the rumours aren't to be believed. Thibaut Courtois has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, which makes the Butland deal even more of a possibility.
