Everton expect third Chelsea bid for John Stones

Everton are bracing themselves for a renewed offer from Chelsea for star defender John Stones.

The England international has been in sensational form for the Toffees since his move from Barnsley in 2013.

Widespread reports cite that Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has already lined up a replacement with the Blues set to come up with a third and final offer for the central defender.

The Toffees have rejected two bids of £20m and £26m from the Premier League champions for Stones.
