The report adds that the 2019 English top flight champions want to recoup the £50m they paid to sign him from Everton in 2016.

The Express says that Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho was keen on the now 25-year-old when he was Chelsea manager, and wants new central defensive options this summer including a replacement for Jan Vertonghen, whom the report says is set to leave the north London outfit at the end of the campaign when his contract expires.

Stones has had his fair share of injury issues – including during the current season – but he has seen Fernandinho preferred ahead of him at centre-back on occasions, which indicates how Guardiola feels about him.

Nevertheless, the following Spurs supporters appear delighted by the rumour, as you can see after the report was relayed by the TranSPURS and COYS_com fan accounts on Twitter.
