10 Potential Transfers That Will Affect Title Race
7. Ross Barkley to Chelsea
Name: Ross Barkley Club: Everton Age: 20 The Telegraph reports Chelsea are lining up a bid for Everton's young star as they lose Juan Mata to Manchester United. Barkley is a player we all know about as he has taken the Premier League by storm this season and is a key assets in Everton's quest for European football. He's turned heads this season, attracting the direct attention of Jose Mourinho. It was expected that Chelsea would make their move in the Summer but the departure of Juan Mata may have speeded up the process. £37 million is the fee Chelsea are receiving for the Spaniard and they would have to use a large chunk of this to persuade Everton to part with their man. Barkley will be sure to seek first-team assurances ahead of the World Cup but featuring in the Champions League could move him into a starting position for England in Brazil.
