Stoke City manager Mark Hughes is confident the club will agree to terms on a new deal for striker Peter Crouch.
Crouch's second Premier League goal of the season helped Stoke end a run of five games without a win, his strike following Ryan Shawcross' effort in a 2-0 home victory over Watford on Tuesday.
His contract expires in June, but Hughes is upbeat over the chances of keeping Crouch, who turns 36 later this month.

"Peter has been playing really well and if you put balls in the right areas you know he is going to get on the end of things," Hughes said, as quoted by BBC Sport.
