3. John Stones to Chelsea
Everton are set to reject a third £30m bid from the Blues, with the Toffees said to be confident that the centre-back won’t force a move to Stamford Bridge and is content with staying at Goodison Park.
However, reports in the Daily Mail have claimed that an offer in excess of £35m – if Chelsea are willing to offer such a price – would prove difficult to turn down.
This move may thus boil down to just how high the reigning Premier League champions value Stones, and whether they want their man now.
