John Stones has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Everton, with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Manchester City defender. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Bayern Munich remain in the background, but for now, Everton are leading the way in ongoing talks. Everton's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 1.15 goals per game (31 in 27). John Stones would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Manchester City continue to be linked with Jack Hinshelwood, Andrea Cambiaso and Morgan Gibbs-White while Everton are also rumoured to be tracking Liam Delap and Harry Wilson.
