Peter Crouch admits he may be forced to leave Stoke due to a lack of first-team opportunities.
The former England striker helped ensure safe passage into the fourth round of the FA Cup for Mark Hughes' side with a goal in the 2-1 win over Doncaster on Saturday, but having started just five games for the Potters this season, the 34-year-old says he is frustrated at his lack of football.
He told the club's official website: "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.
"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 needs 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."
Stoke boss Mark Hughes said earlier this week there has been interest in the former Liverpool and Tottenham man.
"It is true to say that there have been a few enquiries 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."
