The Mirror reported earlier this week that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is interested in the England international as a long-term replacement for Petr Cech.

But Butland, 24, insists he is only focusing on returning to full fitness and getting some minutes under his belt before the end of the season.
“I must have done all right this past year, I can't remember," Butland told the Stoke Sentinel about Arsenal's reported interest.
"That's football. It's not anywhere near the transfer window yet, but that's the way papers work.
“I just take it as a positive that I'm still thought about in the football world after so long out.

"But my focus is on Stoke, always has been, and playing well. I'm just worried about getting playing again, getting the gloves and boots back on.
"My only focus is playing again for Stoke, getting some game time before the end of the season and hopefully start getting back into the England side as well."
