John Stones has arrived in Milan and is set to complete his medical with Inter, saying: “I’m excited to be here.”

The England defender will undergo medical examinations with Inter today before putting pen to paper on a two-year contract with the reigning Serie A champions.

Stones flew into Milan this morning and briefly addressed journalists waiting outside the airport gates. “I’m excited to be here,” said the former Manchester City defender.

He is expected to sign a two-year agreement at Stadio Meazza.

Stones left Manchester City when his contract expired at the end of June and was part of the England national team squad at the World Cup earlier this summer.
