Chelsea have brought in some of the best players in their team from Europe, keeping in view the Champions League where they will be participating in the next season. They are well aware of the fact that they will be facing some of the best players in the world and are lining up for a few more signings who will be playing an important role in the team in the forthcoming days.
One such player, who has been in contention to leave his current club Everton and join one of the biggies in the Premier League in the summer transfer window is the English midfielder, Ross Barkley. The attacking player has been showing a rebellious attitude towards his club and has denied to pen down a new contract with the Toffees so far and is poised to leave the club in the summer.
Though there has been no official announcement from either the side of the player or the club about an opportunity for the midfielder to leave the club, it is almost imminent that one of the big name clubs might come out as the potential taker for the 23-year-old attacker. In the current situation, the current defending champions look to be in pole position to bag the player.
The player has been also targeted by the arch rivals of the West London club, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. However, with the new 3-4-3 formation being implemented by the Italian coach of Chelsea, Antonio Conte, the imperativeness of midfielders have increased by leaps and bounds in his lineup, which makes it even more possible for the deal to take place that might see Barkley move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have been looking forward to continuing their good run in the Premier League and make it another successful season by defending their title. The inclusion of a player like Barkley, who made a number of heads turn with his skills and goal scoring ability, into their lineup can give the Blues the much-needed impetus for another good season in English as well as European football.
The 23-year-old midfielder has played 179 matches for Everton so far and has been one of the main men in the strike force for the Toffees throughout his career. Though there has been no certainty about the move, the bringing in of Davy Klaassen, who plays in a similar position as that of Barkley, from Ajax, can be an indication that the Englishman might be on the go in the next term.
