Manchester City defender John Stones says Bernardo Silva is liked by everyone inside the club.

Stones admits Bernardo is among City's most popular players.

“I think he's such a good soul," Stones said, who was speaking at the premiere of Together: Champions Again!

“He's always happy, he doesn't take himself too seriously and he's always up for a laugh, always smiling and he's an incredible player.

“I think he just picks and chooses when to be involved and when to have a laugh.

“Why is he so loved? It's a hard question to answer when someone is so liked and valued within our squad, he just has so many good qualities and everyone clicks with him."

Stones also said: “Bernardo was always joking in the dressing room about wanting a dog and telling everyone 'I'm going to call it John Stones' and I said why?" he said.

“So, he said, 'So I can say 'John, come here now!' It's definitely to wind me up. I see it as a positive that it must mean he likes me!"
