Chelsea have confirmed that midfielder Ross Barkley has left the club after mutual consent regarding the termination of his contract.

Barkley joined the Blues back in 2018 from Everton. He made 100 appearances for the London club across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists.

Barkley won the Europa League in his first season with the Blues, where he scored in the penalty shootout in the semi-finals against Eintracht Frankfurt.

His last appearance for the club came in May. The midfielder managed to get on the scoresheet against Watford in the Blues’ last game of the previous season.

He was signed for a fee of £15.1 million in 2018. Barkley was loaned out to Aston Villa during the 2020-21 season.

He found it hard to get regular playing time under Thomas Tuchel, playing just 14 matches across all competitions last season.

Barkley is currently without a club after terminating a contract.

Barkley has also made 33 appearances for england, scoring six goals for the Three Lions.
