In a world of media-trained footballers, Stoke and Switzerland forward Xherdan Shaqiri is a player not afraid to let the world know what he really thinks.
“It is no secret that I will leave the club,” the man who suffered relegation with the Potters told Swiss newspaper Aargauer Zeitung this week. “I would love to stay in England, I think the league is perfect for me. It’s the best league with the best players, but I do not want to exclude anything.”
