Revealed: Newcastle United's chances of signing £47.5m-rated Barcelona and Leeds United 'linked' defender

Newcastle United have been installed as contenders to sign Barcelona and Leeds United ‘linked’ Manchester City defender John Stones, according to bookmakers SkyBet.

The England defender has struggled for form recently under Spanish manager Pep Guardiola. However, national reports suggest he will stay and fight for his place next season despite interest from several Premier League clubs.

But bookmakers SkyBet are still offering odds on the 26-year-old – who was bought by Manchester City from Everton for £47.5m – sealing a transfer away.
