Chelsea are considering a move for Manchester City defender John Stones.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard is aware he must bolster his backline when the transfer window reopens.
And the Blues have held internal talks about the prospect of signing Stones, who is poised to leave Manchester City, says Football Insider.
The England international was wanted by Jose Mourinho back in the summer of 2015, shortly after he'd guided Chelsea to the Premier League crown.
However, the current Tottenham boss ended up missing out with Stones opting to stay at Everton at the time. He then joined Manchester City the following year.
Inside today's Chelsea, they believe he has the composure and ball-playing ability to fit into Lampard's playing style.
