EXCLUSIVE: Everton eyeing Swansea star as Ross Barkley replacement - who is Spurs bound
EVERTON boss Ronald Koeman wants Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson as Ross Barkley’s replacement.
Posted Sunday, May 14, 2017 by Dailystar.co.uk
Gylfi Sigurdsson has been huge for Swansea this season
England midfielder Barkley, 23, is unlikely to sign a new contract at Goodison, with Tottenham favourites to sign him in the summer for £35million.
So Everton are searching for his replacement and are ready to pay £25m for playmaker Sigurdsson, 27.
That is £5m below Swansea's valuation but there is scope for a compromise.
Everton have also been linked with Blues old boy Wayne Rooney, but he is more likely to leave Manchester United for China.
Starsport revealed Barkley's contract stand-off with Everton in February - he has to sign or quit.
