Chelsea plan scouting report on Everton superkid Ross Barkley

Chelsea are keeping tabs on Everton superkid Ross Barkley. The Daily Mail says Chelsea are using Saturday's clash against Everton to add to their growing dossier on England international Barkley.

A senior Stamford Bridge scout will be deployed to Goodison Park on Saturday night with the brief of solely watching the 19-year-old.

Barkley is viewed as one of the best emerging talents in English football, a fact that was underlined last week after Roy Hodgson handed him his England debut in the 4-0 win over Moldova.

Chelsea are committed to their plan of signing the planet's best young talent, and Barkley is a teenager firmly on their radar.
