Chelsea On The VERGE Of Signing £30m Defender, He Will Wear Number 6 Shirt

If a report by Daily mail’s very reliable journalist Craig Hope is anything to go by, Chelsea may finally be signing John Stones. For according to the journalist, the blues are not prepared to let go even after Everton rejected the club’s initial £20 million bid for the player.

John Stones understands Chelsea are preparing a new £30 million bid for the player which the club hopes will be accepted by the Merseyside blues. Mourinho reportedly sees Stones as a must have in his team and right so. He is a good defender whose primary role is the right side of the centre of the defense but can play as a right back and as well as a left back.

The right back aspect of his game makes him quite interesting prospect for Mourinho especially as Ivanonic is not getting younger. He will be a long term replacement for both Ivanonic and John Terry.

According Craig Hope, Chelsea are prepared to give him the number 6 shirt should they be able to convince Everton to sell him for the new £30 million bid which looks very possible.
