Oxford United are monitoring York City's English striker Josh Stones ahead of the summer. According to journalist Alan Nixon on his Patreon page, fellow Football League clubs Luton Town and Stockport County are also tracking the player's progress. The report also mentions Wycombe Wanderers and Reading as other potential suitors for the 22-year-old attacker. He has drawn attention for his performances in the National League. York City are in a strong negotiating position as Stones' contract does not expire until June 2028, meaning the club is under no immediate pressure to sell. The forward, who joined the club in January 2025, has 6 goals and 7 assists in 13 National League appearances this season.
