Tottenham Hotspur were linked with Everton attacking midfielder Ross Barkley in the summer transfer window.
According to a recent report in The Times, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will make moves for Everton attacking midfielder Ross Barkley in the January transfer window.
It has been reported that Chelsea wanted to sign Barkley from Everton in the summer transfer window.
According to ESPN, Spurs wanted to secure the services of the England international in the summer.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, though, does not seem to be interested in getting drawn into any speculation.
“It’s still too far to speak about the next transfer window,” Pochettino told Football.London when asked if he will go back with a bid for Barkley in January. “And you know like always, the players that are in another club I never speak about.”
Should Tottenham Hotspur make Ross Barkley move in January?
Barkley is a hugely talented and promising player, and at the age of 23, the Englishman can still improve a lot in the coming years.
With the 23-year-old’s contract at Everton running out at the end of the season, it would make sense for Spurs to sign him on a relatively low price in the January transfer window.
Perhaps Spurs could even wait until next summer when they would be able to secure the services of Barkley on a free transfer.
