Spurs Target Hints at Stoke Exit as He Reveals Champions League Ambitions

Stoke City winger Xherdan Shaqiri appears to be on the verge of leaving the Potters, following their Premier League exit.

The Staffordshire outfit could only manage a 19th-place finish this season and will be playing their football in the Championship in August after winning just seven league games all term.

Shaqiri, reported a target for Spurs, West Ham, Everton and Crystal Palace, has a £12m clause in his contract that permits him to move away now that Stoke has suffered the drop. And he has spoken to the Sun regarding his future, insisting he wants to play in the Champions League.
