Manchester City's John Stones feels no pressure from huge transfer fee

John Stones insists he doesn't feel any extra pressure after becoming the world's second-most expensive defender when he joined Manchester City in the summer.

City paid £47.5 million to bring in the England international from Everton in a deal, which also made him England's second-most expensive player ever after teammate Raheem Sterling.

Certainly the huge transfer fee doesn't seem to have impacted on his game with the 22-year-old quickly settling into a City side that has won seven out of seven games.

Stones says he doesn't give much consideration to his price-tag and is simply interested in trying to justify his place in the City starting lineup.
