Stoke City forward Peter Crouch admits his future could be away from the Britannia Stadium as the former England international assesses his situation down the final stretch of his playing career.
Crouch, 34, joined Stoke City in 2011 but hasn't featured much this season, casting doubts as to the remainder of his tenure with the Potters.
"Ideally I'd like to stay at Stoke because I think we're a top 10 side and I'd like to be a part of that," Crouch told Stoke's official website, as quoted by Sky Sports. "But I've got to be realistic - I've featured hardly at all in the Premier League and that's what I want to be doing. If need be I'll have to move on but I'd rather not.
"It's been frustrating at times when you don't feel part of the group but all you can do is work hard and get back in there - and hopefully I've done myself a bit of justice."
Hearing of Crouch's uncertainty, Stoke manager Mark Hughes revealed the 6-foot-7 striker has garnered interest in the January transfer window.
"It is true to say that there have been a few inquiries about Peter Crouch if I'm honest but he's one I want to keep here," Hughes said. "He came on the other night and he's very much part of what I'm looking to do here."
