EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea send scout to Everton to watch rising English star BarkleyChelsea are using Saturday's clash against Everton to add to their growing dossier on England international Ross Barkley.Sportsmail understands
a senior Stamford Bridge scout will be deployed to Goodison Park on Saturday night with the brief of solely watching the 19-year-old.Barkley is viewed as one of the best emerging talents in English football, a fact that was underlined last week after Roy Hodgson handed him his
England debut in the 4-0 win over Moldova.Chelsea are committed to their plan of signing the planet's best young talent,
and Barkley is a teenager firmly on their radar.
The West London club already have numerous detailed scouting reports on the Everton midfielder and will continue assessing the Wavertree-born player
as they weigh up a future swoop.Speaking on Friday, Mourinho
revealed he made an enquiry for an English player - not Wayne Rooney
- during the summer transfer window.
'I like a young player, a young English player,' said Mourinho. The market is closed but I asked a question to position myself to see where he was. We are speaking about a very young player but his price was like he has 50 caps when he had none.
The price for English players is very high, the market is very difficult.' Indeed, Mourinho will have to pay in excess of £20million if he is to have any chance of luring Barkley from Goodison Park.The midfielder looks certain to play a key role in the English national team's future.
