That’s according to White Hart Lane legend Darren Anderton who reckons the England international is north London bound.
But Anderton, who played 299 games for Spurs, says Barkley will struggle to get in Mauricio Pochettino’s first-team.
"I think Ross Barkley will still sign for Tottenham despite other interest,” he told Sportingbet.
“I think the comments from Ronald Koeman were strange, Ross Barkley is a fantastic player, but I think he needs a manager that will love him and improve his game, like Pochettino, and coming to Tottenham will be the perfect pillar for him.
"However, with the current setup, Ross will struggle to get into the team.
“I think if Barkley comes he'll want some reassurance that he'll be playing, but for me, I don’t know how you can change that front three of Kane, Alli and Eriksen – it's arguably the best front three in the league.
"It's difficult. Barkley wants to play, but I'm sure Tottenham fans would be very upset if Alli or Eriksen were dropped, as they play in the same position.
“If he does join and one of the other players leaves, they could go anywhere they wanted. Dele Alli is worth a fortune.
"They will want to play every game and won't want the manager chopping and changing just to accommodate everyone".
Barkley has played 150 games for the Toffees since making his debut in 2010.
However, after refusing to pen a new contract he looks set to be sold.
