Stones has made 11 appearances so far this term, scoring once.

But he could now be set for a stunning move up the leagues, with Wigan and Blackburn both keen.

Stones was promoted to Guiseley’s first team earlier this season.

That’s after he netted nine times in just five games for their youth side.

Meanwhile, SunSport also exclusively revealed Man Utd and Chelsea both want Blackburn teen sensation Ashley Phillips.

The Prem giants now have a constant presence at Rovers’ Under-21 games to watch the classy 16-year-old centre-half.

The England youth cap is under contract so it will cost a fortune to get him.

Phillips is rated the best discovery at Rovers for years and a genuine top-level prospect at club and country level.

Everton and Spurs have also been watching Phillips, but United and Chelsea head the queue.
