Bojan Krkic is reportedly attracting interest from
several clubs, but Stoke City boss Mark Hughes insists
his star forward is not leaving.
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has issued a stark hands off
warning to any potential suitors interested in Bojan Krkic.
Bojan has recovered from a serious knee injury to impress in
Stoke's forward line this season and has three goals in 12
Premier League appearances.
Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked
with a move for the former Barcelona star.
The 25-year-old played down rumours of an exit from the
Britannia Stadium when he told the Stoke Sentinel: "Speculation
won't affect me. It's one thing I can't do anything about.
"If I am ever [linked with big clubs] hopefully it is a sign that I
am doing good work.
"I am happy, I feel good and for me that's the most important
thing at the moment; to have good feelings in training, on the
pitch when I play and to have a gaffer who puts his trust in me."
And Hughes was in no mood to entertain the possibility of a
January transfer window exit for Bojan.
"We are a week or two before the bonkers season, the transfer
window, so it isn't surprising to see our players linked with other
clubs," Hughes said.
"I am sure you will have seen what Bojan has said this
week. He is very happy here and a big part of why he is doing
so well is because of the confidence that we all have in him.
"He has been to other big clubs before and has experienced it
and maybe didn't find what he has here. He is happy here, his
people are happy too and we wouldn't encourage any interest in
him."
Hughes is also confident new deals will be agreed for key duo
Erik Pieters and Marko Arnautovic.
"You are never sure as to how long it will take to reach a
resolution where everybody is happy," he added. "I want the two
boys to be here for a significant length of time. They are key to
what we are trying to achieve here."
