They reckon Barkley’s game could nosedive if he continues to be threatened by gangsters and thugs.

Some Everton fans have urged him to seek a move away from their club as Manchester United and Spurs are linked with the England ace.

One wrote on an Everton fans’ forum: “A move down south might do him the world of good!”

Tipped for greatness with England at an early age, Barkley, 23, has been accused of stagnating as new stars have emerged for the Three Lions.

And Barkley’s fellow pros also think a move to another part of the country could reboot his career.

Stoke City’s Charlie Adam said: “Does he need a change? Maybe he does. Maybe he needs to get out of the city.”

CCTV footage of the attack at Santa Chupitos was circulated on social media. Barkley escaped serious injury and made it to training the next day.
