da premier bet: Former Everton defender Richard Dunne has advised Ross Barkley to make the jump from his hometown club and move elsewhere.
da bwin: The midfielder’s future appears to be uncertain after manager Ronald Koeman recently claimed that his player has until the end of this week to sign a new contract.
The Dutchman has confirmed that a deal is on the table for Barkley, who came through the ranks at Everton as a youngster.
Barkley’s reluctance to sign it suggests that he is considering his options, but it seems as though the Toffees are clear in their stance.
Koeman has reiterated publicly that Barkley will be sold this summer if he does not put pen to paper on a new deal.
The club clearly do not want to run the risk of the midfielder running down his current contract and leaving for nothing at the end of next season.
Dunne, who began his career at Everton and spent four years in the first team before leaving for Manchester City, has given his opinion on the situation.
He told talkSPORT:
“There are a few players at Everton that have gone into their comfort zone and maybe a change would be the best for both sides. Certainly for Everton they need a bit more freshness in their team and maybe Ross does, in terms of getting a new club, having to earn a place in a team and not have the comforts of being at home and living in his hometown.
“Maybe he needs to go out and challenge himself and start trying to progress and get a place back in the England team.”
