Tottenham transfer news: Ross Barkley has been backed to move

Barkley, 23, has a year left on his contract but he's refused to sign a new deal at Everton.

The Premier League big boys have all been linked with a move for him but Anderton thinks he'll end up at Tottenham.

He told sportingbet.com: "I think Ross Barkley will still sign for Tottenham despite other interest. 

"I think the comments from Ronald Koeman were strange, Ross Barkley is a fantastic player, but I think he needs a manager that will love him and improve his game, like Pochettino, and coming to Tottenham will be the perfect pillar for him.

"However, with the current setup, Ross will struggle to get into the team.

"I think if Barkley comes he'll want some reassurance that he'll be playing, but for me, I don’t know how you can change that front three of Kane, Alli and Eriksen – it's arguably the best front three in the league.

"It's difficult. Barkley wants to play, but I'm sure Spurs fans would be very upset if Alli or Eriksen were dropped, as they play in the same position.

"If he does join and one of the other players leaves, they could go anywhere they wanted. Dele Alli is worth a fortune.

"They will want to play every game and won't want the manager chopping and changing just to accommodate everyone."
