Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has described Ross Barkley as a "complete player" ahead of the 24-year-old's meeting with former club Everton on Sunday.
Barkley left the Toffees in January 2018 in a cut-price deal, with his contract close to expiring at Goodison Park. After a difficult end to that campaign with the Blues, he's emerged as a brilliant option for Sarri this term and is poised to play a key role against his ex-employers.
Sarri said he was impressed with how Barkley has been able to work his way up the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, per Dominic Fifield of the Guardian.
