Tottenham are cooling their interest in Everton midfielder Ross Barkley.
The England international was left behind from Everton's trip to Tanzania last week with the club citing a groin injury. The 23-year-old with one year left on contract has been keen to resolve his future and has so far failed to agree terms on a new deal at Everton as he looks for over £120,000 a week.
However, despite an expected push from Tottenham in the wake of their Kyle Walker windfall, they are opting not to pursue Barkley at this stage.
Arsenal and Chelsea have also shown interest in homegrown Barkley and Everton expect offers to come later in the window though they do not intend to let him go cheaply.
