Everton set May deadline for Ross Barkley to sign new deal at Goodison• Ronald Koeman: ‘We need to know the answer by the end of the season’ • ‘Everton is the best place for him to continue,’ says manager Ronald Koeman has told Ross Barkley to decide his Everton future by the end of the season and the club is the right place to fulfil ambitions of Champions League football. Barkley has 14 months remaining on his contract at Goodison Park and talks with his representative over an extension remain at an impasse. That has prompted the Everton manager to insist the 23-year-old will be sold this summer if he does not sign a deal and Koeman has set a deadline of late May for a decision. Tottenham have been frequently linked with the England international, who has had a turbulent season on and off the pitch but Koeman sees no reason for the boyhood Evertonian to leave Goodison. “I’m not involved in the negotiations for his contract but I know the board is talking to his agent,” the manager said. “It’s not about one week but we need to know the answer before the end of the season. We will offer him the contract that is good, what is normal for what the player is and for his improvement this season. “Everton is the best place for him to continue. I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he said his ambition is the Champions League. I told him I have the same ambition. He’s going in the right direction at Everton. He’s a kid of the club, a kid of the town and in my opinion there’s no better place for him. “The Champions League is a normal ambition for players. Everyone would like to play Champions League, including the managers and the fans. For us the next step is Europe and maybe if we finish fifth or sixth it’s perfect because then we don’t play any qualifying games [for the Europa League]. Everyone can see the difference here between this season and last season with the new signings, talk of a new stadium and the direction the club is going in.” Koeman spoke to Barkley again this week, only this time to advise the midfielder against socialising in Liverpool city centre. Barkley was punched in the face when visiting a bar following Everton’s win over Leicester City on Sunday and while sympathetic to the player’s plight, his manager believes a homegrown, high-profile footballer should socialise elsewhere. “It’s not good, it’s not what you like to read about your players in the press,” the manager said. “It could happen to everyone in town but maybe now he realises it’s not the best place. Maybe it was the wrong time, wrong place to meet crazy people like that. “It’s difficult when you’re young because you’ve just played a game, you win and you go out. I have no problem with that. Ross didn’t drink, he was driving his car into town, but if you meet these people then things like this can happen. Maybe that’s the reason I live outside the town. Always people learn from incidents that happen and it’s good if you do learn.” Everton are in talks with the left-back Sead Kolasinac, whose contract with Schalke expires this summer. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international, who is also wanted by other clubs, came close to joining Chelsea in January. Guardian

I sometimes look at Ross Barkley and think what a great player, and other times I think what an overrated player, so difficult to make my mind up how I feel about this.
I've often wondered whether trying to fit him into the team has been part of the problem.
Ross on a good day = great, but too many fans judge him on his A game, while his B game is not the best.
