Tottenham are at the front of the queue to sign Ross Barkley from Everton this summer.
Everton playmaker Barkley is back in the England squad this week after hitting brilliant form in the Premier League since the turn of the year.
Long-time admirers Tottenham have hardened their interest in the 23-year-old as he continues to prevaricate over his future at Goodison Park.
Everton want Barkley to extend his contract as his current deal expires at the end of next season.
