Stones ready to play for chelsea, hands in transfer request to Everton

Everton defender John Stones has handed in a transfer request in an attempt to persuade his club to sell him to Chelsea, according to reports on Tuesday.



Stones is Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s top
target as he seeks to bolster his defensive options,
but Everton have rejected three offers for the
England international and he has now taken
matters into his own hands.

After Chelsea’s latest bid of £30 million ($47
million) was snubbed by the Goodison Park outfit,
Stones is widely reported to have formally
expressed his desire to leave before training on
Tuesday.

However, Everton have been resolute in their
determination to hang on to the 21-year-old and
manager Roberto Martinez has insisted throughout
the saga the centre-back is not for sale.

Martinez refused to even discuss what the club’s
response would be should the player hand in a
transfer request when he was asked about it on
Tuesday.

“There is nothing to comment on that,” he said.
“Once more, it is always the same question and
always the same answer.

“The only thing that matters now is the game we
have in front of us. There is nothing to announce
or discuss.

“I know it is your job to keep asking the same
question and unfortunately it is my job in this case
to always give you the same answer.”

But despite Martinez’s determination to keep
Stones, who joined Everton from Barnsley for £3
million in January 2013, the youngster is
convinced he can persuade the club to sell him
before the September 1 transfer deadline.

If he does the Premier League champions, Stones
will add much-needed depth to Chelsea’s central
defence after the struggles of John Terry and Gary
Cahill this season.
