Chelsea are ready to compete with Tottenham for Everton midfielder Ross Barkley.
The Telegraph says Spurs are set to finally make good on their long-term interest in the Toffees midfielder.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is preparing a £20m move with an additional £8m in add ons.
He believes that represents a fair value for the England international, who has no future at Goodison Park.
It remains to be seen if Chelsea will better Spurs' offer, with a bid still expected from the Blues too.
Mauricio Pochettino has the lure of his success developing English talent and greater chances of game time.
