Chelsea
and Barcelona are set to fight for Everton highly rated center-back John
Stones, according to FNG.
La Liga giants Barcelona have been keeping tabs on Stones for the past few months while on the other hand Chelsea targeted him back in the summer as they looked to replace skipper John Terry with Stones.
The
Premier League Champions have once again entered the race to sign the young
Englishman. London side are planning to sign him as a long term replacement of
veteran Terry.
Everton
boss Roberto Martinez has told that Stones would not be leaving the Merseyside Blues
but how long would he stay? He is certainly going to leave Goodison Park
either for Chelsea or Barca.
Barca
scouts have been watching the youngster in the past few games. Boss Luis
Enrique is planning to sign him as they are struggling with defensive problems.
The
21-year-old has been exceptional so far this season and could be planning to
leave the Toffees in the summer.
Jones
has picked up only three yellow cards in 20 appearances in Premier League this
term.
Reports
suggest that he would cost around £38million which would be easy for both
Chelsea and Barca.
