Everton include Ross Barkley in Europa League squad even though midfielder won’t sign new contract and is certain to leave
Midfielder rejected Chelsea move on transfer deadline day but could end up at Tottenham when January window opens
EVERTON have included Ross Barkley in their squad for the Europa League group stages.
The contract rebel looks set to leave the Toffees either in January or at the end of the season as he refuses to sign a new deal.
Barkley came close to joining Premier League champions Chelsea on deadline day in a £35million deal.
But the move collapsed when Barkley reportedly walked out during his Stamford Bridge medical.
And with further interest from Spurs, the England international is surely nearing the end of his time at Goodison Park.
However, Barkley may not have played his last game for Everton just yet.
The midfielder, who is currently injured, could yet feature in Europe this season after being included in Ronald Koeman’s 25-man squad.
Also included in Seamus Coleman, despite the Irishman recovering from a broken leg.
