# Tottenham and Chelsea to come back for Barkley

Tottenham and Chelsea are set to return for Ross Barkley in the January transfer window.

[According to The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/10/04/tottenham-plan-january-move-ross-barkley-transfer-could-do/), the Champions League sides are both ready to make another move for Barkley in the new year.

Neither side were able to secure a move for Barkley in the summer, despite Chelsea coming very close.

Chelsea had a £35m bid accepted by Everton on deadline day but Barkley rejected the move at the last-minute, potentially hoping for a move to Tottenham.

The report now claims that Tottenham are the frontrunners and that Barkley will only cost £20m in January.

This is due to him being in the last year of his contract at Everton. If he fails to get a move in January he could move on a free next summer.

Barkley is currently nursing an injury but the report claims that he should return to fitness during the January window.
