'Stones is a class defender' - Man City centre-half backed by Oasis star Gallagher

One of the Premier League side's most famous fans has also hailed Leroy Sane and spoken of his belief in a project being overseen by Pep Guardiola

John Stones has come in for his fair share of criticism this season, but Noel Gallagher considers the Manchester City defender to be “class”.

The England international arrived at the Etihad Stadium in the summer of 2016 in a big-money move from Everton.

A £47.5 million fee was required to secure his signature, with City eager to buy into Stones’ present ability and potential for the future.

Such a hefty price tag has weighed heavy at times, with the 22-year-old still working on ironing out the flaws within his game.
