England defender John Stones has joined Inter Milan on a free transfer, signing a two-year contract after leaving Manchester City when his deal expired in June. The move brings an experienced, highly decorated defender to the Italian champions as they prepare to defend their Serie A title.

Stones, 32, spent 10 years at City after arriving from Everton for £47.5m in 2016, making 295 appearances and winning six Premier League titles and the Champions League among other trophies. He has 93 England caps and was part of the squad that finished third at this summer’s World Cup; Inter begin their league campaign against promoted Monza on 22 August.
