Barkley agrees Chelsea exit

Ross Barkley has left Chelsea by mutual consent to become a free agent.

The midfielder made 100 appearances in all competitions for the club after joining from Everton in 2018, scoring 12 goals.

He scored a late winner against Watford last season but has found game time difficult to come by.

Barkley played just six times in the Premier League last season having been loaned out to Aston Villa the season prior.
