John Stones won't pressure Everton to sell him to Chelsea this week.

The Daily Star Sunday says he will NOT hand in a transfer request as Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho gets ready to push Everton to the limit with a £40million FOURTH bid.

There were reports that the Goodison defender wanted to push through a move to Stamford Bridge.

But it's understood he will not force Everton's hand. Stones, with four years left on his contract, has endured a month of speculation after Chelsea launched three successive bids which were all rejected.
