The striker knows manager Mark Hughes is keen to retain him.

"I don't know what will happen in the future but at the moment, for the foreseeable future, I am happy playing for Stoke," said Crouch.

"My contract is up at the end of the season so I don't know what the future will hold, but at the moment I will just continue to do what I do - that is work hard and hopefully score some goals."
