While many are busy admiring defenders like Virgil yan Dijk, Aymeric Laporte, Kalidou Koulibaly, for their immense performances for their club this season, many are missing out on a very vital player, John Stones.

The English international has won a starting position at Manchester City ahead of the likes of Vincent Kompany and Nicolas Otamendi, something which deserves admiration. His aerial strength, good feet and incredible composure on the ball has been vital for Man City in their title race.

An injury have kept him sidelined in recent weeks, but not many fans have actually took the time to notice what he brings to the table. His ability to play both as a right or left centre-back, and even as a CDM, if the needs arise, separates him from the rest.

At the age of just 24, John Stones has formed a formidable partnership with Laporte. They have only conceded 20 goals in the league this season - thanks to this incredible centre back pairing.
