Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that claims John Stones is set to be rewarded with a contract extension at the Etihad Stadium, following his impressive return to the first-team squad.

Stones has been inconsistent since his £50 million move from Everton in the summer of 2016 and was limited to just 24 appearances last season.

The England international was put up for sale in 2018 and wa after falling down the pecking order to Vincent Kompany, Nicolas Otamendi and Aymeric Laporte, but he ended up staying and is finally turning things around.

Stones was on the periphery at the start of this campaign, making just one Premier League appearance in September and October, but he’s now a regular and has found some consistency. He has featured 11 times so far this season, and Guardiola believes the 26-year-old deserves plenty of praise.

The Telegraph last week reported that could be in line to receive a new contract after ‘winning around’ Pep Guardiola this season. The defender has enjoyed some good form this season and has become a part of the first XI, ousting even Aymeric Laporte.

According to Daily Star Sport, Stones’ resurgence at City is set to land him a new contract, with the club’s hierarchy now ‘convinced’ that he is worth keeping in the long-term.

He absolutely deserves it… He has been phenomenal in recent games a definite turn around from last season when he was terrible.

This guy playing style really remind me of young Pique.
Compose on the ball, have a gut to carry the ball upfront to find space.
I hope he stay fit all season, he wasted the last 2 years with injuries and personal problems.

When was his contract due for renewal?
I hope he hasn’t turned on the style in the last 12-18 months of his contract to land a new one.

Stones deserves a new contract

It speaks a lot about a player’s mentality when one fights for their place even when the odds are stacked against them. Stones has always been a good defender with lots of potential and it would be a good way to reward such a player by offering him a new deal. Stones is still 26 and very likely has a lot more to offer.
