Barkley could take his game to another level under Pochettino

When he burst onto the scene, Ross Barkley was England’s greatest hope. Raging from one box to another, there was seemingly no stopping the Everton man when he was at the top of his game. Like an angry bull, he dismantled defences with his directness while also helping his team’s backline.

However, his growth seems to have stagnated over the last season or so and he now looks set to move to Spurs as Everton close in on Gylfi Sigurdsson. A move to Spurs might rejuvenate him to the player that some seem to think that he already is – a top-class midfielder that decides the outcome of a game.

Right now, though, he is far from such a distinction, but the hype surrounding him might suggest otherwise. The talent is there, but he is quite a bit away from realising it just yet.
