Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: 'Ross Barkley has massive potential'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has sung the praises of Everton midfielder Ross Barkley ahead of this weekend's match between the two Premier League sides.

Barkley has emerged as a regular first-team member at Goodison Park over the last few seasons, and is also a full England international.

Injuries hampered the 21-year-old's progress last season, but Wenger is impressed by the midfielder's ability.

"He has massive potential," Wenger said in this morning's press conference. "He has absolute power and is certainly one of the most promising."

The North London outfit have won their last three Premier League games in a row.
