John Stones in Italy – Inter start, pundit comments and familiar Man City problem

Former Manchester City defender John Stones signed a two-year contract with Inter Milan in July following a decade at the Etihad Stadium. Inter Milan announced his arrival on their official website, marking a move to the reigning Italian league and cup double winners managed by Cristian Chivu.

Stones has been gradually integrated into the squad, making substitute appearances against Monza and Cagliari. Following a strong second-half display against Real Madrid in the Champions League, Stones earned his first start on matchday four of the Serie A campaign.
