Everton centre-back John Stones is "definitely interested" in securing a transfer to Premier League champions Chelsea.
The Blues recently saw a £20 million offer rejected, perDarren Lewis of the Mirror. Lewis also believes Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho will return with a £26 million bid, while Paul Joyce of the Express suggested the Portuguese manager is willing to offer up to £34 million to see the deal done.
A report by the Sun's Justin Allen (h/t Izzy Horsefield of the Express), quoted a source close to Everton when suggesting Stones is ready to leave:
This is not a Raheem Sterling situation where there's any bad feeling between John and the club or vice-versa—but John is definitely interested in going to Chelsea.
