Everton Transfers: 7 Players Who Could Leave In January
3. John Stones
John Stones has been a rock in the Everton defence this season, forging an effective partnership with Phil Jagielka, and impressing at international level with England. His meteoric rise to the top of the footballing pyramid hasnt gone unnoticed, with Chelsea said to have had two bids for the player rejected last summer - and it seems that the faltering Premier League champions wont take no for an answer. The latest reports suggest that are back with a fresh £45-million offer for precious Stones, but they could have competition for his services from Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona. With oodles of natural talent on his side, Stones is destined for great things, and his longterm future at Everton could hinge on the clubs ability to secure European football and challenge for trophies on a consistent basis.
