Everton have rejected Chelsea's second £26million bid for John Stones with the Blues now expected to go back for the defender for a third time. Chelsea made the offer that was immediately knocked back on Tuesday, but remain confident of landing Stones before the summer transfer window shuts. It is understood that, despite Everton's insistence he is not for sale, Chelsea will have to pay around £34m to land Stones. Having returned from their pre-season tour of the United States, Chelsea must now plot when to make their next move for Stones. With over a month of the transfer window to run, there is no need for Chelsea to rush into a third offer this week.
Other than rejecting Chelsea's second Stones bid
, Everton are determined to sell midfielder James McCarthy to Tottenham Hotspur, who they view as a direct rival.
