Arsenal pursues short-term deal for John Stones after Saliba injury

Arsenal plans to pursue a short-term move for defender John Stones, recently a free agent, responding to an injury suffered by William Saliba during the World Cup. As the club assesses its defensive options, Stones will join Ezri Konsa and Jon Martin from Real Sociedad on their shortlist. Meanwhile, Tottenham's Djed Spence aims for a transfer to Inter Milan, alongside news that Chelsea considers Joao Pedro untouchable amid Barcelona's interest. Fulham's new manager, Alvaro Arbeloa, is reportedly targeting former players from Real Madrid. These developments come as clubs navigate the post-World Cup transfer.
