According to a report from the Telegraph, former Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez wants to make a second coming at St. James’ Park – apparently wanting to sign City defender John Stones upon his return to the north east.
Stones has struggled for game time under Pep Guardiola despite forming a solid partnership with Aymeric Laporte last season, starting just 10 Premier League games for the Sky Blues over 2019/2020.
Despite the opinions of some supporters who believe he was ‘world class‘, it appears many City fans would like to see Stones move on to pastures new following a mixed run of form.
