John Stones is opting for a new challenge entirely, shrugging off Premier League interest from Arsenal and Chelsea to join Italian champions Inter Milan as a free agent.
Stones departed Manchester City at the end of his contract last month. Despite just 18 appearances in all competitions last season, he was named on Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man roster for the World Cup and played a prominent role in England’s journey to the semifinals and a third-place finish.
