Chelsea are set to complete a £15million deal for Ross Barkley.

The Everton midfielder seemed close to joining the Blues last summer, and although he denied being close to a switch then, it is being reported he is set to complete a move to Stamford Bridge and it could be as soon as today.

The Premier League champions are also said to have made a surprise enquiry for West Ham striker Andy Carroll, according to the Daily Mail.

Carroll will be a surprise move for by Antonio Conte, as the striker has endured an injury-hit spell at West Ham since 2013, and the Blues still have Michy Batshuayi and then Alvaro Morata on their payroll.

Barkley is out of contract in the summer, but Chelsea are willing to pay £15m now in a bid to outmanoeuvre Tottenham, whose manager Mauricio Pochettino is a long-term admirer of the attacking midfielder.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce had hoped to convince Barkley to stay but he has now accepted the academy graduate will move on.

“We are resigned and the club was resigned before I got here that we’re going to lose Ross and I can’t see that changing,” said Allardyce.

“I expect there will be some interest some time in this window. He’s back in training full-time. When he comes back, the touch won’t be quite as good as it used to be and the match fitness won’t be quite as good as it used to be.”

Jose Mourinho is not happy over Manchester United’s reluctance to make a move for Tottenham leftback Danny Rose in this January transfer window.

It is believed the United boss has identified Rose as his ideal left back, but the Old Trafford chiefs are reluctant to make a £40million play for the 27-year old, a development which has frustrated the Portuguese, according to the Daily Mail.

Ashley Young, a converted winger, appears to be United’s first-choice in that position after Mourinho decided that Luke Shaw, Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind are not up to the job, but the report claim the United hierarchy, on the other hand, believe Shaw can still be a success despite struggling for form and fitness since his £30m move from Southampton in 2014.

It’s understood that they want to let Shaw develop further and sign a left-back for the future. A number of options are being considered including Fulham teenager Ryan Sessegnon.

With Young currently serving a three-match ban after switching to the right to deputise for the injured Antonio Valencia, Shaw has started the last three Premier League games and is not expected to be sold this month.

Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has chosen between Barcelona talisman Lionel Messi and Real Madrid hitman Cristiano Ronaldo who is better are among both pair.

The 29-year-old World Cup winner with Germany was joined by fellow countryman and Gunners teammate Shkodran Mustafi was waded into the most difficult debate in the football world as Young Gunners fan club asked the question during a mock press conference set up by Sky Sports.

Ozil was asked him to name which of the two superstars he thought was best and Arsenal star answer by replying  “I will go for Ronaldo because I played with him while Mustafi says ‘I think I will go for Messi, as he told the children.

Ozil spent four seasons at Real Madrid playing with Portugal’s captain, winning a La Liga title and one Copa del Rey together with Ozil providing many assists for Ronaldo during that time.
