Everton's Koeman on match-winner Barkley's future: 'We will see'

This is a modal window.

Amid uncertainty about his future at Everton, Ross Barkley played hero with a goal from distance to beat Watford.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman refused to be drawn on what the future holds for Ross Barkley despite the midfielder proving to be the matchwinner in their final home game of the season.

The Toffees boss has warned the 23-year-old he has until next weekend to tell the club whether he will be signing the contract extension on offer or be sold in the summer.

Barkley's 56th-minute long-range strike was enough to beat Watford 1-0 but that did not elicit effusive praise from his manager, who substituted the player 10 minutes from the end because he wanted more control in midfield.
