Ben Wilmot: Keeping cool in pre-season, new team-mates and fresh ink

Stoke City defender Ben Wilmot joins us from the Potters’ pre-season base in Andalusia to share why this coming campaign feels different from the last and how the new signings are already bedding into the squad. Ben also takes us inside his summer holiday across the United States, explaining how he kept himself fit on the road with gym sessions and runs, and why arriving sharp for pre-season matters as much as anything done on the training pitch. And he lifts the lid on the stories behind his tattoos, including his latest ink and why getting the green light from his partner is a must before adding any more.
