In the D Mail paper.
Chelsea will make an improved £26million offer for Everton defender John Stones after the Blues' initial bid of £20m was rejected.
Stones will be offered the No 6 shirt and Chelsea secretary David Barnard will meet with Everton officials as the champions look to broker a deal for the 21-year-old England international.
Everton, though, will demand a fee in excess of £30m should Stones indicate a willingness to move to Stamford Bridge - but are determined not to sell one of their most important assets

He does look great. But then so did Phil Jones.

There's not much comparison besides the country they're fe and their early prominence. Jones was a blood and thunder style of defender which he remains now. A lot of the issues jones has run into stem from his overly aggressive play leading to injury and prevent him from long stretches in the first team to cement a place. Stones is very much an elegant centrehalf.

Would love to have Stones but can't see it happening - he's just got into the England team and the Euros are next summer so I can't imagine him coming to us without a guaranteed starting place (which he ain't going to get).

Maybe loan back to everton for season or two may be an option?
