Chelsea target John Stones should be allowed to leave Everton

Harry Redknapp believes John Stones should be allowed to join Chelsea

HARRY REDKNAPP believes John Stones should be allowed to join Chelsea.

 

Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen to sign Stones as a long-term replacement for John Terry. 

And while Everton have rebuffed Chelsea's opening two offers, it is understood the Premier League champions are preparing a third bid. 

Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has slammed Mourinho's advances for the young centre-back, however Redknapp believes it will be difficult for the club to keep the England international if wants to leave. 

“When you’ve been in the game long enough you know, if a player wants to go, he’s going to go,” Redknapp told talkSPORT.

 

“I would think if the money’s right...

“David De Gea wants to leave Man United - he wants to go but it’s just when a deal can be done that suits everybody - and I think it’s the same with Stones.

“It’s a shame. Everton brought him in and gave him the opportunities, he’s been there 18 months and suddenly he’s off to Chelsea.

“But he’ll be a good signing for Chelsea and he’ll give them good cover and good competition at centre-half.”
