James Beattie looks set to stay at Stoke City after revealing that he has patched up his relationship with Potters boss Tony Pulis.

The 32-year-old has been linked with a host of clubs including Wolves, Wigan Athletic, Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield United but is focused on battling to win back his place in City's starting line-up.

Beattie, who was reportedly involved in a heated pre-Christmas bust-up with Pulis after a game against Arsenal last season, was quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: "Whatever happened between me and the manager has all been swept under the carpet now, it's history, we've moved on.

"I have heard all the reports of interest from Blackburn, Wolves, Wigan and Sheffield United but I want to stay at Stoke and I am happy to stay.

"I know there has been interest from Championship clubs but, while I'm flattered, I want to play in the Premier League. I last played in the Championship two years ago and I don't really want to go back.

"The Premier League is what it's all about and I'm confident I can still ply my trade there - and with Stoke.

"Pre-season has gone well so far and I have figured in the games so the manager has certainly made me part of his plans.

"I'm working hard, I feel great and I definitely want to be part of the team for the first game of the season against Wolves."
