What The Papers Say - 6 May

GiveMeSport reports Everton are interested in re-signing Manchester City defender John Stones.

The defender joined Pep Guardiola’s side from the Toffees in 2016 after making 95 appearances in royal blue.

Journalist Graeme Bailey said: “John Stones’ future at Manchester City is far from certain.

“Kyle Walker left in January, and we know Kevin De Bruyne is going, things are changing. Ederson, Bernardo Silva and Stones could follow. Stones has interest from the Saudi Pro League, but in England there are clubs who would be willing to take him including West Ham and his former club Everton to name but two.”

Elsewhere on the transfer front, CaughtOffside claims Blues boss David Moyes is interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach forward Tim Kleindienst.

The striker has scored 16 goals in the Bundesliga and picked up seven assists in 30 appearances, helping the German outfit push for European football as they sit just three points off seventh place.

Moyes faces competition for his signature, though, with West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur also reportedly interested.
