Everton defender John Stones is forcing for a move to join Chelsea as the English International has officially handed over a transfer request to move from the Goodison Park. Skysports have reported that Stones has now submitted a formal transfer request in a bid to end the stalemate.
The 21-year-old defender has received three separate bids from Chelsea, including one for £30m, all of which have been rejected by Everton, who insist he is not for sale.
Toffees manager Roberto Martinez, who wants to keep Stones at Goodison Park this season has refused to speak on this issue.
There is nothing to comment on that. Once more, it is always the same question and always the same answer.The only thing that matters now is the game we have in front of us. There is nothing to announce or discuss. I know it is your job to keep asking the same question and unfortunately it is my job in this case to always give you the same answer, he said.
