John Stone’s Facts

1. He joined Everton in January 2013 when the Merseyside club paid around £3million to secure his services from Barnsley. He signed a five and a half year contract with the club.
2. In August 2014, he agreed to a contract extension with Everton to extend his contract with the club until 2019. The new deal also boosted his earnings to around £30,000 a week.
3. His impressive performances in Everton’s backline earned him a Golden Boy 2014 nomination. However, he failed to defeat eventual winner Raheem Sterling.
4. In April 2015, he scored his first top flight goal for Everton when he scored his side’s second goal in a 3–0 win over Manchester United.
5. In the summer of 2015, he was actively pursued by Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea. Everton reportedly turned down three offers from the London club (£20m, £26m and £30m). It was even claimed that Stones had submitted a transfer request to force a move. However, the report was rejected by the club and its representatives.
6. In August 2016 Everton agreed a price of £47.5million in a deal with Manchester City allowing Stones to eventually leave the club. Everton have been promised a further £2.5m for performance and appearance-related add-ons.
7. His old club Barnsley also received £6.78m from his move to the Abu Dhabi club due to a 15% sell-off clause being introduced when he moved to Everton.
8. His move to Man City made him the second defender after David Luiz to be sold for over £45million. He was also the second most expensive defender at the time.
9. His debut season at Manchester City did not live up to expectations as he was regularly criticized for his role in his side’s shambolic performances throughout the season.
10. He scored two goals in the 6-1 defeat in England by Panama in the group stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His goals made him the first Manchester City player since Trevor Francis in 1982 to score for the England national team.
