John Stones
Stones became a free agent when his Manchester City contract expired at the end of June, bringing an end to a decade at the Etihad after 295 appearances since his 2016 move from Everton. Chelsea are among several clubs exploring a move, along with Arsenal and Inter Milan, as they look to add experienced cover at centre-back. The 32-year-old impressed for England at the World Cup, including a strong showing in the semi-final defeat to Argentina, which has only increased his profile on the free agent market.
