Ross Barkley is on the verge of leaving Everton this summer and Arsenal are seriously looking at the possibility of sign the attacking midfielder if we are to believe reports.
With the arrival of Davy Klaassen at Everton, the transfer of Ross Barkley now seems likely and Arsenal are believed to be one of the most interested clubs in making a deal alongside Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea.
The 23-year-old playmaker has spent his whole footballing career at Everton making a total of 179 appearances for the club and is one of the best players ever to have come out of their youth setup.
Last season, Barkley made 39 appearances across three different competitions, scoring six goals and grabbing nine assists.
Weaknesses
Even though Ross Barkley is a great asset for Everton when going forward, the midfielder often fails to make an impact in the defensive phase and his defensive contribution is possibly the greatest weakness for him and his teammates.
The player is poor at tackling and commits fouls often – 1.36 per game – while only making 0.72 successful tackles per-game.
For a rather tall player with plenty of physical strength, he wins just under 50% of his aerial duels and he could learn how to position himself better to take full advantage of his strengths.
