Barkley could become a lost talent - Hodgson

The veteran manager has said he always believed in the midfielder but has offered a stern critique of the 23-year-old's future

Former England manager Roy Hodgson has urged Everton's Ross Barkley to find himself a new club to fulfil his potential, warning he could become a lost talent.

Barkley's Everton contract expires at the end of the 2017-18 season and his failure to agree a new deal at Goodison Park has led to suggestions Tottenham, Chelsea or Manchester United will attempt to lure him away from Merseyside.

Barkley started one game and came off the bench twice for Hodgson's England team at the 2014 World Cup but failed to make an appearance at Euro 2016.
