Stockport County are among several Football League clubs monitoring York City striker Josh Stones ahead of the summer. Journalist Alan Nixon reported on his Patreon page that Luton Town and Oxford United are also monitoring the 22-year-old English attacker's progress. Wycombe Wanderers and Reading have additionally been named as potential suitors for Stones, who has attracted interest with his performances in the National League, where he has scored 6 goals and provided 7 assists in 13 appearances this season.
