Barkley needs consistency, says Osman

Leon Osman believes Ross Barkley needs to add consistency to his game to flourish under Ronald Koeman at Everton.

Ross Barkley must work on delivering on a consistent basis if he is to become a key player for Everton and England, says former team-mate Leon Osman.

The 22-year-old has not featured in the last two international squads despite being a regular at Goodison Park this season.

Barkley has started all seven Premier League games under Ronald Koeman, but he has only managed one goal and one assist, a tally not deemed enough by Sam Allardyce and latterly Gareth Southgate.
