Manchester City defender John Stones has welcomed new goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Stones, 22, believes Bravo's footwork and quality in possession is the perfect fit for City - and says he makes it easier for him to play his natural game.

“It's good for me knowing I can give him the ball and he's comfortable within himself to create a pass or make the right decision to clear it up the pitch sometimes," Stones told the Manchester Evening News.

“That's how football is. They can press you high and you've got to go long some times."
