Stoke City and Bolton Wanderers are set to battle for the signature of former Premier League-winning goalkeeper Asmir Begović, who is available on a free transfer this summer. According to Darren Witcoop, both Championship clubs are exploring a move for the experienced Bosnian after his contract with Leicester City expired at the end of last season.
Begović, who was part of Chelsea’s 2016–17 Premier League title-winning squad as a dependable backup goalkeeper, brings a wealth of experience from spells with Stoke City, Bournemouth, Everton, Queens Park Rangers, and Leicester. His leadership, professionalism, and shot-stopping ability remain valuable assets despite entering the latter stages of his career.
A return to the bet365 Stadium would see Begović reunite with familiar surroundings, while Bolton Wanderers view the veteran as an ideal addition to strengthen their goalkeeping department. With no transfer fee involved, the race for his signature is expected to gather pace in the coming weeks.
