Premier League star Tottenham's number one target

Ross Barkley will reportedly become Tottenham's star-signing at the end of the season. Having spent a few seasons at Goodison Park, it feels like the time has come for the England international to try his luck elsewhere.

He was loaned off in the past, to the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United, but it looks like this time he will be gone for good.

Mauricio Pochettino has long been an admirer of the midfielder and was interested in signing the 23-year-old, but was deterred from doing so due to doubts over his decision-making.

After a difficult start to the season, things seem to have picked up for Barkley, who has been rewarded with a recall to the England squad. 

He is not the only player that could seek departure from Goodison Park, with Lukaku also seeking a more ambitious project than that of Koeman's team.

Tottenham are not the only top club interested in signing Barkley, with Chelsea also following the player, but  they are leading contenders in their bid to add quality to their midfield.
