WHEN Ross Barkley moved from Everton to Chelsea in January,

Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson said he wanted the police to investigate the transfer as he believed “fraud” was involved.

The politician was widely rebuked then – even among his fellow Evertonians. But looking at how the 24-year-old England international (left) is now playing, with a flurry of goals and a handful of assists, it may be over-the-top to claim the £15million Chelsea paid was fraudulent, but it was undoubtedly an absolute steal. Call da cops.
