West Ham are one of the two likely destinations for Manchester City centre-back John Stones, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

The Hammers could face competition from Everton for the City ace’s signature (Daily Mail).
ExWHUemployee claimed in August that David Moyes is keen to bring the 26-year-old to the London Stadium.
The Sun also reported at the same time that West Ham were ready to bid £20 million for the two-time Premier League winner.
We desperately need to add a centre-back to our ranks before the transfer window slams shut.
Moyes completed the signing of Vladimir Coufal earlier today. And if the Scot can bring in Stones and perhaps a centre-forward as well, we might just be able to enjoy a decent campaign after all.
The Daily Mail claims that West Ham are one of the more likely destinations for the 39-capped England international.
And Pep Guardiola recently suggested that Stones could leave the Etihad this summer (Guardian).
Stats
Stones played just 16 Premier League games for Man City last season. In those outings, he averaged one tackle, 0.6 interceptions and 1.9 clearances per game (Who Scored).
Although the City ace didn’t play much last season, he is still a truly top talent. Sure, he makes the odd mistake, but there are not many better than him at playing out from the back.
And if West Ham can pick Stones up for a decent fee this summer, he would undoubtedly be a very good addition for us.
