Jones and the Englishmen of Inter: from Ince's leadership to Stones' technique

Curtis Jones watched the match between Inter and Monza from the stands, awaiting his official debut in the Nerazzurri shirt. The English midfielder, who arrived from Liverpool for a fee close to 30 million euros plus bonuses, had the chance to meet Javier Zanetti, the club’s vice president, with whom he exchanged his first words.

During the day, the player gave a special interview to the official Nerazzurri channels. He was asked what he would “steal” from the other five Englishmen who have worn the Inter shirt throughout history.

Jones attributes courage to Gerry Hitchens: “He was one of the first to move from England and play for Inter.” Of Paul Ince he highlights the leadership, while he recognizes Ashley Young for his speed among the many qualities he possesses.

Speaking of John Stones, the new Nerazzurri signing points to technique as the characteristic he would borrow. On Djed Spence, finally, he gives a humorous answer: “I’ve already said speed and I know he would want me to say speed, he loves to talk about how fast he is but I’ll say his mentality.”
