Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to complete Villa move
Barkley is set to complete a move to Aston Villa, according to Talksport.
ANALYSIS
Everton have been linked with a move for the Luton Town playmaker, who's expected to remain in the Premier League, but it seems Villa will complete the move for him first. The prospect of playing in the Champions League is too tempting for Barkley.
