Colombia’s World Cup breakout linked with possible Chelsea switch

Rumours pop up on Twitter all the time, and this latest one has a not particularly reliable source.

It’s from an Argentine journalist on Twitter:

We don’t know how reliable he is, but hey, he has 13 thousand followers and sounds pretty certain. It’s enough to give us a hint that there’s interest at least.

He says that the Colombian will arrive in January of this year.

Barrios is a Boca player, who’s also been linked with Tottenham. He is a Colombia international, and actually featured in an impressive game against England in the World Cup.

He’s a defensive midfielder, and has impressed for Boca both in the Argentine league and the Copa Libertadores.

I would be an interesting move, but he’s not a 19 year old prospect, he’s well into his 20s. You have to ask why a big team hasn’t moved for him sooner.

Either way, it’s one to keep an eye on.
