And according to The Sun, Stones is 'definitely interested' in securing a move to Stamford Bridge despite being quoted last week that he is "very happy" at Everton.
A source told the newspaper: “This is not a Raheem Sterling situation where there’s any bad feeling between John and the club or vice-versa — but John is definitely interested in going to Chelsea.
“John was not misquoted last week but the timing of that quote being released by Everton was quite interesting because he actually spoke BEFORE the bid.”
