Premier League defender Stones makes summer decision after amid Chelsea speculation

John Stones plans to stay at Manchester City and fight for his place next season despite reports of a Chelsea bid

We let over 50 goals in the Premier League last season and Frank Lampard knows that he needs to sort out this back-line if he is to take the club back into the habit of winning the biggest trophies.

We have completed deals for Ben Chilwell and Thiago Silva, but with the Brazilian a short-term solution to their long-term problem, they have been linked with a £20 million move for the talented Stones.

Stones is one of the best ball-playing defenders in the Premier League but has had troubles with injuries over the past few months and with the arrivals that are expected at City, he knows that he needs to make a move away from the club in order to save his career at the top level.

However, despite the reports that we have made a bid to try and get a transfer deal done, according to The Telegraph, Stones has no intention of leaving City and believes he can win back the trust of boss Pep Guardiola.

Look, if Stones wants to stay at the City and try to fight for his place, then there is no problem with that. But he needs to realise that Guardiola will only play the players that he believes will win him games, and Stones is no longer that.

It could be a mistake for Stones to stay at the club this summer, we would have been a good move for the man to make
