Ross Barkley has turned his back on a move to Chelsea, turning down the proposed 35 million pound transfer.
As reported by the Express, Barkley was in the process of completing his medical at the London club, before changing his mind and opting to remain at his current side.
Chelsea fans, already disappointed with a frustrating summer of transfer inactivity, took to social media to voice their anger.
If Barkley has really turned down Chelsea then something is seriously off down there. Chamberlain, Llorente and Barkley now?

I need to stop getting so invested in wanting players to join, honestly feel sick. I've been a huge fan of Barkley for years, gutted

Barkley's Chelsea snub came just hours after Chelsea target Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain rejected the Blues in favour of a move to Liverpool.
