da betcris: Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with a move for Everton contract rebel Ross Barkley this summer, and the midfielder’s future took another turn on Tuesday.
da brdice: The Toffees announced on their official website the players that were going on their pre-season trip to Tanzania, and the 23-year-old was a notable absentee with a groin injury.

While he may well have an injury and it could be coincidental timing, it is news that will certainly increase the speculation around the Everton star.
