Chelsea waiting on John Stones resolution

Chelsea are hopeful that Everton defender John Stones will force his way out of the club this summer.

The England international is thought to be high on the list of targets for the Blues in the transfer window.

However, the Blues have failed in three attempts to sign the talented centre-back, with the Toffees reluctant to offload their star asset.

According to The Telegraph, the Premier League champions are ready to come up with a fourth bid for the 21-year-old, only if he submits a transfer request.

Stones joined Everton from Barnsley for £3m in 2013.
