John Stones has praised the impact of Pep Guardiola on his footballing career and for taking it to 'another level' as the centre back targets Champions League glory with Manchester City this season.
The defender's days at the Etihad Stadium had looked numbered after an indifferent campaign last term followed by the arrivals of Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias this summer.
However, Stones has been revitalised this season and has formed a formidable centre-back partnership with Dias that has propelled City three points clear at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand too.
