Begovic denies going on strike
Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has denied claims that he went on strike in an effort to engineer a move away from the Britannia Stadium.
Potters boss Tony Pulis claimed that the Bosnian keeper refused to play in last week’s Carling Cup tie against Shrewsbury as rumours of interest from Barclays Premier League heavyweights Chelsea and Manchester City gathered pace.
