Everton eye reunion with Chelsea midfielder

Everton could look to re-sign Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley when the transfer window reopens next month.

The England international left the Toffees for the Blues in January 2018, but he has failed to establish himself.

Barkley is currently a squad player at the west London giants, and it is reported that he could be loaned out.

The Toffees are weighing up attacking targets ahead of January. Barkley is one of the names on their transfer wishlist.

The midfielder left the club in an unceremonious manner three years ago, but the hierarchy are open to a reunion.

He has struggled for form and consistency in recent years, but the Toffees are prepared to revive his flagging career.

Aside from the Toffees, Newcastle United have also been heavily linked with Barkley after their Saudi-led takeover.

The Magpies are eyeing reinforcements to beat the drop. They are looking for players with Premier League experience.

Barkley has another 18 months remaining on his Chelsea contract.
