Jack Butland is ready to quit English football and move to Europe in the next fortnight to save his England career ahead of Euro 2020 next summer.

Goalkeeper Butland missed out on a summer move back to the Premier League that would have bolstered his chances of remaining in Gareth Southgate's Three Lions plans.

Stoke's £30million valuation priced him out of a potential move to Bournemouth who were keen to sign the 26 year-old.

But he remains determined to leave Stoke and is now ready to head abroad in order to secure a switch that will allow him to play top level football again.

The transfer window in countries such as Spain, Germany, Holland, Italy, France and Portugal remains open until September 2.

Butland managed to retain his place in Southgate's set-up last season despite spending the campaign in the Championship with Stoke.

But his second tier status is likely to cost him this year with so many of his rivals playing the standard of football Southgate prefers members of his squad to be involved in.

Everton's Jordan Pickford is Southgate's No 1 and Tom Heaton will have a chance to cement his place having made a move to Premier League new boys Aston Villa to become their first choice.

Butland was the third goalkeeper named in Southgate's most recent squad, for the summer's Nations League finals.

Though he will now be under serious pressure from below to retain his place with two of England's goalkeeper's from their Under 21 squad at the European Championship beginning the season as Premier League No 1s.

Manchester United's Dean Henderson will spend the season on loan at Sheffield United while Angus Gunn is first choice at Southampton.

Another potential rival for Butland is Aaron Ramsdale, who has also featured for the Under 21s and got the nod for Bournemouth's season opener against Sheffield United.
