Ross Barkley could be set to stay put at Everton following talks with the club’s chiefs in recent weeks, according to reports.
The England midfielder looked set to exit Goodison Park for Tottenham during the summer transfer window after having rejected a new Everton contract in the off-season.
However in news which will surely please the Everton fans, it has been claimed that Barkley has recently taken a U-turn on his decision to leave Goodison Park and could well sign a new long term deal with the Toffees after all.
The reports suggest that following protracted discussions with the chiefs of Everton, Barkley was convinced to stay at Goodison Park and sign a new long term deal.
While these reports are yet to be confirmed, Barkley signing a new deal might be the turning point for Everton who are currently enduring an abysmal campaign so far.
The Merseyside team are looking for inspiration from somewhere and this news might be the catalyst to spark Everton’s return to form.
