English football pacesetters Chelsea are considering a move for English-born midfielder of Nigerian descent Ross Barkley, 23.

The future of the attacking midfielder at Everton is up in the air, with his current agreement with the Liverpool-based team set to run out at the end of the 2017-2018 season.

The Daily Mirror has reported that Chelsea are mulling over a 100 million pounds bid for Everton star men Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley.

The Blues are keen to bolster their squad this summer as they will be back in the Champions League next season.

Barkley has played nonstop at Everton for the past twelve years though he enjoyed loan spells with Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United during the 2012-2013 season.
