The immediate future of Ross Barkley is becoming one of the key narratives of summer Deadline Day.Earlier today, The Telegraph’s Matt Law claimed Tottenham had stepped up talks to sign the England international from Everton, whilst mooting Arsenal and Chelsea as fellow potential last-minute suitors.
That follows reports from BBC Sport, with Phil McNulty declaring yesterday that Chelsea had seen a £25million transfer bid for the 22-cap midfielder rejected by the Toffees.
Accordingly, we asked Chelsea supporters yesterday whether their club should table an improved offer for Barkley, knowing Antonio Conte is still light of bodies in central midfield.
And according to our poll, a whopping 76% of Blues fans think the west Londoners should launch another bid before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Barkley seems likely to leave Everton with his contract due to expire at the end of the season, but a recent injury may convince clubs to move for him during the January transfer window instead.
