Transfer gossip: Mourinho determined to sign John Stones

Gem Stones

Jose Mourinho has been playing silly buggers again by very publicly announcing his interest in Everton's John Stones. The Everton youngster is one of the most highly-regarded young defenders in the country and Chelsea have already had one bid rejected. The Mirror report that this won't deter Mourinho, who made his intentions clear with an ominous "we can improve the bid" sound bite.

Saido Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur have been surprisingly quiet in the summer transfer window thus far, but that could all be about to change. The People report that Mauricio Pochettino had scouts watch Saido Berahino closely last season and he's ready to make his move. The Lilywhites will apparently firm up their interest in the West Brom star with a £15million bid this coming week.

Departing Angel

Despite the player himself continually stressing that he is staying at Manchester United, Angel Di Maria's future is still uncertain. Louis van Gaal did little to quell the rumours by stating future plans for the Argentine playmaker were an ongoing "process". The Mail reckon he can indeed leave - but only if he formally asks United for a transfer.
