What has Taylor said about Man City and Stones?
Taylor told GIVEMESPORT: “I have to say I think City’s cohort of centre-backs has got to be the best in world football. You’ve got Stones and Ruben Dias, who are absolutely on another level, especially Stones. But then the system Guardiola is playing means they can have three centre-backs, and you can have that one that steps into midfield in Stones. So, I think Josko Gvardiol will be a top signing over time.”
What next for Man City this summer?
Whilst Stones fights to return to fitness, Manchester City will hope to keep up their positive start to the season, having already secured the UEFA Super Cup title.
