Arsenal Target Free Transfer of John Stones After Saliba Injury Blow

Arsenal are exploring a free transfer deal for defender John Stones after William Saliba’s suspected back injury threatened to sideline him for months. Saliba left France’s World Cup semi-final against Spain with severe back pain, and the Gunners fear he could be out for up to five months pending medical assessment. John Stones, now a free agent after a decade at Manchester City, impressed in the knockout rounds for England and could reunite with Mikel Arteta, who worked with him under Pep Guardiola. With game time a key factor, Stones and his representatives will weigh all options. A move to Arsenal could capture his interest if talks accelerate.
