da bet7： As reported by The Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to complete a deal for Everton midfield Ross Barkley this week, but only if the Toffees reduce their valuation of him.
What’s the story?
da bet vitoria： While their Premier League rivals around them have already strengthened significantly this summer, Tottenham Hotspur have yet to spend a penny, opting to take a more measured approach to their summer recruitment.
That could be about to change though with The Mirror reporting that the club are hoping to conclude a deal for Everton attacking talent Ross Barkley before they leave for their pre-season tour of the USA later this week.
There is a stumbling block though and that’s Everton’s valuation. The paper say the Toffees are holding out for as much as £50m for Barkley while Spurs are only willing to pay between £20m and £30m.
That’s quite a ways apart but, as we know, Daniel Levy is a canny operator and you wouldn’t put it past him to get the deal done.
Worth it?
When utilised properly last term, Ross Barkley was a very effective talent for Everton. In all competitions he scored six goals, assisting eight more. His most effective position appeared to be when he was deployed on the right flank although he does have the versatility to play both centrally and deeper in the heart of midfield.
With power, pace and ambition, he ticks plenty of boxes for Spurs and in truth, in today’s market, £50m doesn’t too absurd. Still, Spurs may feel other targets represent better value and since they aren’t in desperate need of reinforcements, they can easily walk away from the deal if the price is not right.
