Ross Barkley: Midfielder becomes free agent after leaving Chelsea

Chelsea have announced midfielder Ross Barkley has left the club by mutual consent and is a free agent.

Barkley, who has 33 England caps but has not played for his country since 2019, has not appeared for Thomas Tuchel's side this season.

The 28-year-old's last game for Chelsea was a 2-1 win over Watford on the final day of last season, when he scored a 90th-minute winner.

"We wish him well for the rest of his career," read a Chelsea statement.

He has made 232 Premier League appearances for Chelsea, Aston Villa - on loan - and Everton, and has 29 goals and 28 assists.
