Pep Guardiola: John Stones has potential to be another Koeman

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola can see echoes of Ronald Koeman in John Stones.

Everton supporters may grimace at such a suggestion, given City took the £47.5m defender from Goodison Park just as Koeman was settling in as Toffees manager this summer.

However, the 22-year-old has slotted in well at the Etihad Stadium and City boss Guardiola can see qualities in him that he previously saw when playing alongside Koeman at Barcelona.
