Bojan appears to have played his very last game for Stoke City after not being discouraged from looking for another club.

The crowd favourite has been close to the edge before - having two spells away from the club in recent years - but this time it sounds final after a heart-to-heart with manager Nathan Jones.

The club says Bojan, who only started eight league games this season, is keen to play more games next season.

The meeting is believed to have been amicable and came as no great surprise to the Spanish playmaker.

He has another year left on his contract and it now remains to be seen if his agent can negotiate a permanent move, or will end up engineering a third and final loan move away from Stoke City.

Today’s news will be a hammer blow to those many Bojan fans still hoping there might yet be a future for him at their club.

But Sunday's appearance from the bench always felt like a swansong for one of the club's most popular players of recent times.
