Tottenham Hotspur have explored the possibility of signing England central defender John Stones on loan from Manchester City, however as things stand that move does not appear likely to develop, David Ornstein can reveal.

Conversations are understood to have taken place on Sunday and City are looking to move on a right-sided centre-back today, but they still expect that to be Eric Garcia to Barcelona rather than Stones.

The finances involved in a deal for Stones, 26, are also thought to be problematic for Tottenham, who are currently focusing on alternative options such as Antonio Rudiger of Chelsea.

The 27-year-old Germany international is believed to favour a switch to Jose Mourinho’s side, who have been maintaining that they are done in the market having signed six first-team players this summer. But the move could depend on the Blues’ willingness to do business with their rivals and Rudiger is also being considered by other teams, including AC Milan.

not good enough for our rivals then not good enough for us. He cant get in ahead of that shambles at the back city showed against Leicester.

I would love John Stones as an option. I think he's a victim of the high line that City play, which he's just not cut out for. But, in a low block, I bet he'd do a great job. He's experienced, massive, wins headers and tackles galore and has just about the best passing range of any defender in football.

A raw talent, who's confidence has been destroyed playing for one of the best club sides in recent history.

At this point in his career, i'd say he's more likely to find his level at a Villa or West Ham.
