Joey Barton has just revealed what happened with Ross Barkley and his Chelsea medical

It was one of the stranger moments in deadline day history.

Ross Barkley had decided to join Chelsea, a fee had been agreed between the clubs and the Everton midfielder was in the middle of a medical ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge. Then he had the ultimate change of heart. As the 11pm deadline drew nearer last Thursday, Barkley suddenly pulled a U-turn and decided that he didn't want the deal to go ahead. https://twitter.com/JOE_co_uk/status/904102383227162624 And Joey Barton has sensationally revealed what went wrong to prompt the dramatic 180° from the England international. Barton remarkably claims that Barkley was trying to contact Chelsea manager Antonio Conte to find out what position he would be playing in for the Blues but that the Italian had decided to switch his phone off.
