Playing for Pep Guardiola sold Man City to me, says £47m John Stones

John Stones said the chance to play under Pep Guardiola tempted him to Manchester City after completing a £47.5m move from Everton yesterday.

The fee is a record transfer fee for a British defender and the 22-year-old has become City’s eighth signing of the summer by penning a six-year deal at the Etihad Stadium, joining the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus in Guardiola’s first transfer window.
