Everton reject Chelsea's opening bid for Ross Barkley
Ross Barkley could swap the blue of Everton for the blue of Chelsea before the transfer deadline
Everton have rejected a £25m offer from Chelsea for their midfielder Ross Barkley.
The 23-year-old has turned down a new contract offer from Everton and is highly likely to leave the club before his contract expires next summer.
But Everton value him closer to £50m than £25m and have rejected Chelsea's opening offer.
The player is also a transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.
