Former Everton captain Alan Stubbs expects Ross Barkley to leave this summer.

Davy Klaassen's arrival from Ajax for £23.5million on Thursday after signing a five-year contract, plus Everton's interest in Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson, suggests manager Ronald Koeman is making long-term plans which are unlikely to include Barkley.

"I think Ronald put his cards on the table with Ross before the end of the season and he gave him an ultimatum," Stubbs told talkSPORT.

"The fact that we are three weeks gone and Ross hasn't signed, then I think that's the biggest indicator that Ross' future is going to lie elsewhere.

"The one thing that he (Koeman) said towards the end is that he wanted more creativity in the team and I think, with Klaassen, he's certainly got that – his record is very good and he's a great age."
