Stoke City manager Mark Hughes is hopeful that goalkeeper Asmir Begovic will follow Jack Butland's lead and sign a new deal at the Britannia.
The 27-year-old's future is uncertain as he has 15 months remaining on his current contract and has been regularly linked with a move away from the Potters.
Today, Butland, who is struggling for first-team action at Stoke, signed a new deal that runs until 2019.
"We will sit down and speak to Asmir in the summer," Hughes told reporters in today's press conference. "He wants to focus on the games first, and rightly so. We are comfortable with that.
"I know Asmir is happy here and is pleased with our progression. We hope they will be good discussions with him. We have re-contracted Jack and our intentions are to also re-contract Asmir too. We are trying to look after business in the correct way."
Begovic has been at the club since 2010.
