Everton have made waves in the transfer market today with reports that they are preparing a sensational move to bring John Stones back to the club.
The England international is set to leave Manchester City as a free agent this summer when his contract expires, and the Toffees are reportedly leading the race to offer the veteran a “homecoming” role at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The move would be a massive statement of intent as Everton look to establish themselves as a top-half force in their new waterfront home.
Additionally, Everton have submitted a concrete transfer offer for New England Revolution starlet Esmir Bajraktarevic.
The club is reportedly working to finalize the arrival of the 21-year-old before the World Cup begins, as they look to add much-needed technical quality to David Moyes’ midfield.
With safety virtually assured, the club is pivoting toward a major summer rebuild to christen their new stadium with a squad capable of challenging for European spots next year.
