The Blues are determined to ensure the midfielder is at Goodison Park in the long term.
Everton’s Ross Barkley in action
According to the Daily Mail, Everton are set to offer midfielder Ross Barkley a new improved contract to ensure his long-term future is at Goodison Park.
The midfielder endured something of a frustrating season last year as he struggled for consistency under Roberto Martinez.
That saw him sit on the bench throughout England’s time at Euro 2016, while Sam Allardyce also elected to leave him out of his England squad for the World Cup qualifier with Slovakia.
