THOMAS SORENSEN is set for crunch talks with new boss Mark Hughes over his Stoke future.

The veteran keeper has a year left on his contract but is behind Asmir Begovic and Jack Butland in the pecking order.

Sorensen doesn’t want to be sat on the sidelines again next season, with Leicester set to offer the 36-year-old first-team football if they lose Kasper Schmeichel to Hull.

The Danish international will meet with Hughes next month, and the former Sunderland and Aston Villa stopper said: “I’m happy at Stoke but last season was frustrating and I want to play more.

“It’s a long summer and a lot can happen.

‘‘When we report back for pre-season I’m sure everyone will know what the club’s plans are.”
