Ross Barkley’s Everton future remains unclear despite the fact Gylfi Sigurdsson is set to complete a £45million transfer to Merseyside.

The Toffees boss Ronald Koeman announced at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that the 27-year-old Iceland international has passed his medical.

"I have seen the doctor and there is no problem," said Koeman. "Still he needs to sign, but I saw him in the Blue!"

And Spurs could yet profit further from the move, should Barkley head to the capital.

But Barkley is expected to be sidelined for six-weeks with a hamstring tear, and whether the injury would impact any potential moves, Koeman refused to divulge too much information.

"There is no update on his future,” he said. “I will wait until the end of August."
