Liverpool are reportedly growing in confidence that they can complete a deal for Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland in the summer worth a potential £40 million.
According to John Richardson of the Sunday Mirror, Arsenal also have an interest in the 24-year-old stopper, but Butland is said to prefer a switch to Anfield, where he could play under the guidance of Jurgen Klopp.
As noted in the report, the fee would potentially usurp the world-record sum paid for a goalkeeper. That mark is currently the £34.
