Three ways Tottenham can slot Barkley into starting XI as Poch masterplan takes shape – view
3-4-2-1: Central midfield

The Times claim Barkley will be moulded into a central midfielder by his new manager if he does indeed move to Spurs, and that would see him sit alongside Wanyama.
Spurs are crying out for goals from deep, and playing alongside the Kenya captain would give the Londoners an added attacking dimension.
