It has been a tough few years for Ross Barkley. He was the boy wonder at Everton, where many saw him as the next big thing in English football. Things didn’t quite go to plan though, and a combination of injuries and a struggle for form saw him almost fall off the radar. There was a chance that his move to Chelsea was his last opportunity to make the grade at a top club.

After six months at the club where he struggled once again with injury, he was finally given an opportunity in the Chelsea side under Maurizio Sarri this season. He has made the most of that chance and has been excellent in the Blues midfield. He has scored three goals, and provided three assists, offering Chelsea some much-needed threat from the three men in midfield. He now looks fitter, stronger, and like the real deal.
