Former Chelsea misfit Ross Barkley has a warning for Everton star Anthony Gordon.

The 29-year-old has clear memories of the tough time he experienced at the Stamford Bridge club.

Barkley is now playing for Nice in Ligue 1, but admits that leaving Everton may have stalled his career at the time.

Per Chronicle Live, Barkley is said to have warned Gordon about being too eager to leave the Toffees.

The young winger is determined to move on with his career, even refusing to turn up to training.

Newcastle United are said to be the club closest to securing his signature.
