John Stones Next Club Odds - Transfer Latest Odds & Predictions

John Stones ended his 10-year stint with Manchester City this summer and is now available on a free transfer, but where will he go?

Following almost 300 appearances for the Citizens in which he secured six league titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and a Champions League, Stones still has plenty to offer his next club.

Stones played his part in England's run to the World Cup semi-finals this summer despite only playing 20 league games over the last two seasons. The 32-year-old might be winding down and has had his issues with injuries, so his next move could be his last.

The England international has been strongly linked with a move back to Everton this summer, but Inter Milan are rumoured to be keen on bringing the defender to Italy, while Manchester City's title rivals Arsenal have thrown their hat into the ring, so Stones has some interesting offers on the table.

Here are the latest odds for John Stones' next club, courtesy of Sky Bet...

• Everton - 6/5
• Inter Milan - 6/1
• Arsenal - 4/1
• Bayern Munich - 9/2
• Chelsea - 7/2
• Juventus - 9/1

Everton have been strongly linked with a move for their former player John Stones since last season. The Toffees had Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City last season, and he made a big impression on the Toffees' faithful until a foot injury ended his season.

Moyes likes players with Premier League experience, and John Stones certainly fits that mould, but would the 32-year-old be brought in to play at centre-back? Everton already have four centre-backs in their squad and don't need to add any cover in that department, especially given the wages a player like Stones would command.

However, the Merseysiders are in the market for a number six and Stones has played in that role for City with great success over the years. A move to Everton would certainly suit Stones should he want to remain in the North West area and not uproot his family, and there have been plenty of high-profile transfers between the two clubs over the years.

Inter Milan are certainly in the market for a centre-back following the departures of Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi this summer.

Manuel Akanji made his loan move to Inter Milan permanent this summer, so John Stones could be in line to team up with the Swiss international at the heart of the Serie A side's defence this season.

A move to Italy would make a lot of sense for Stones, as he would likely be able to play more games in that league due to its slower pace and lower physical demands. Stones has never tested himself outside of England before, and a move to Inter Milan would probably bring with it more winners' medals and a decent wage packet.

Over the last few days, Arsenal have emerged as serious suitors for John Stones' signature. Gunners' boss Mikel Arteta knows Stones well from their time at Manchester City together, and a move for an experienced pro who can play in multiple positions and wouldn't demand a starting role week in, week out could be a no-brainer for the London club.

Stones would certainly stay on similar wages to the ones he was earning at City should he decide to make the move to the capital, and with Arsenal winning the league title last season, Stones would be joining another trophy-hunting side for the latter stages of his career.

Playing for Arsenal, even if he only plays every other game, would probably still be enough to keep Stones in contention for an England spot, which would surely provide plenty of motivation for the 32-year-old defender.

Outside of the three current favourites for John Stones' signature this summer, who else could make a late move for the experienced defender?

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have been touted as a possible destination for Stones, and this would give the England international a chance to join up with Harry Kane and play in a much less demanding division than the Premier League.

There is still a chance that Stones could stay in England and not make the move to Everton or Arsenal, as Chelsea have also registered an interest in the veteran defender. Xabi Alonso is at the helm for the West Londoners and will be looking to bring in players that possess a winning mentality and can be leaders both on the pitch and in the dressing room, making Stones a perfect candidate.

There are plenty of excellent options on the table for John Stones this summer, but we see the 32-year-old preferring to stay in England.

With that in mind, our pick for Stones' next club is Arsenal. Arteta knows Stones well and would utilise his limited playing time while still providing the England international with the chance to compete for trophies.

Wages won't be an issue, and there won't be a huge expectation on Stones to start every game as the Gunners' defence is already very solid, allowing the former City man to come on late in games to help shut up shop or to start when other players are injured, suspended or in need of a rest.
