Ray Parlour believes Arsenal should sign John Stones from Manchester City

 

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes the Gunners should look into the signing of John Stones from Manchester City this summer. The England international has fallen out-of-favour at the Cityzens over the past year and he was restricted to only 16 appearances during the course of the previous Premier League campaign.

Hence, he has been touted to head for the exit door this summer and Parlour feels the Gunners should compete with West Ham United for his services as he could be available for an affordable price, he told TalkSPORT: “That would be a great deal for West Ham if they can get him for £20m, especially when you look at Ake who is going to City for £40m. Arsenal are desperate for a centre-half… why don’t you take your chance and try and go in and bid for Stones? He’s had a bad time in recent years and he hasn’t really gone to where they thought he might go to.”
