Roberto Martinez: 'John Stones will not sulk'

Roberto Martinez says that John Stones "loves" Everton and will not sulk if his proposed move to Chelsea does not go through.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has stated that John Stones "loves" the club and will not sulk if his proposed move to Chelsea does not materialise.

Chelsea have been heavily linked with the defender this summer, with recent reports suggesting that they will have to pay £34m for his services.

Martinez is confident that Stones has not been affected by the speculation over his future.

"He loves Everton. He loves the club and the team and he is an incredible professional, so I don't think you would ever expect him to sulk," Martínez told The Guardian.

"He will always react professionally. John is an incredible leader. He will always give everything to the club."

Stones has made 45 Premier League appearances for Everton.
