Martinez dismisses reports Stones could ask for move

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has dismissed reports suggesting that John Stones could hand in a transfer request. 

Newspaper reports on Monday suggested Stones, 21, was considering trying to force move to Chelsea, who want to sign him from the Merseyside club.

Chelsea have already had two bids for the England centre-back rejected by Everton, who have repeatedly insisted he is not for sale.

When asked on Friday if he was aware of any transfer request by the player, Martinez said: “Not at all, no.”

Stones is expected to be included in Everton’s squad for their match against Manchester City on Sunday.
