Stones hungry to win with Inter Milan
John Stones completed a free transfer to Inter Milan on Friday (AEST), and the centre-back says he is eager to win silverware with the Serie A giant.
Stones signed a two-year deal after the expiration of his contract at Manchester City.
The 32-year-old won 17 major trophies during his time with City, including six Premier League titles and the club's maiden UEFA Champions League crown in 2023.
He made 295 appearances for City after arriving from Everton in 2016, but he followed the likes of Pep Guardiola and Bernardo Silva out the door at the end of last season.
Stones will now look to help Inter add more trophies to its cabinet, and the England international's motivation has not dropped since leaving Manchester.
"I feel a lot of emotions, to be honest," Stones said.
"An overwhelming feeling of happiness and pride. Excitement to start this new chapter, this new journey, and what a place to do it.
"Definitely [moving abroad] is something that I have always wanted to do. When this opportunity came up, I spoke with my family, and we didn't hesitate to come here.
"I'm someone who's very hungry to win again. I think that's first and foremost.
"I've been very, very lucky and fortunate to have won so many things in the past, and I want to bring that experience here and help the team, help the club.
"I'm very excited and, hopefully, I can bring all my attributes. I'm very, very open to learning new things and a new way of football and a new league."
Stones is Inter's fourth arrival of the transfer window, after Ivan Provedel, Aleksandar Stankovic and the permanent signing of Manuel Akanji.
Stones could make his Inter debut on 23 August (AEST), when Cristian Chivu's side begins its Serie A title defence against newly-promoted Monza.
