Crouch's future at Stoke is unclear

Crouch signed a one-year extension in November that keeps him with the 'Potters' until 2019.

However, Stoke are currently in the relegation zone in 19th, three points adrift of safety with two games remaining.

Given their uphill battle to stay in the top-flight, he told 'Sky Sports': "It's a difficult one. I signed for another year because I thought we would be in the Premier League, it didn't even enter my head that we wouldn't be.

"I have to take stock in the summer and we have to address what has gone on this season because we have been nowhere near it.

"From a personal point of view it would be a real shame to leave this club. For me it's about playing these two games and everything else will take care of itself in the summer."

Stoke's final two league games are against fellow strugglers Crystal Palace and Swansea City in what could make-or-break their season.
