Nice have continued their raid on the Premier League by signing ex- Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley after the midfielder was released last month.
The 28-year-old left the Blues by mutual consent following a difficult four-and-a-half-year spell at Stamford Bridge, where he made just 58 Premier League appearances in total. He joined the club in a £20million deal from Everton but failed to live up to expectations despite playing under four different managers.
Barkley was brought by Antonio Conte in January 2018, before Maurizio Sarri was appointed later that year. But Barkley arguably had his best season in a Chelsea shirt under Sarri's stewardship, playing 48 times as they lifted the Europa League.
