Ross Barkley joins Nice following Chelsea release

Ross Barkley to Rangers links put to bed as midfielder finds new club after Chelsea release

ROSS BARKLEY has found a new club one-week after leaving Chelsea. 

The 28-year-old mutually terminated his Stamford Bridge contract last month.

The ex-Everton star has now joined Nice in France.

The Ligue 1 outfit unveiled the midfielder in front of their home supporters last night.

He joins several former Premier League stars at the club.

Aaron Ramsey and Kasper Schmeichel joined as free agents earlier this summer.

Arsenal's Nicolas Pepe is currently on loan at Nice, as well as Brentford's Mads Bech Sorensen and Fulham's Joe Bryan.

The move puts to bed any chance of Barkley becoming a Rangers player. 

The one-time England international had been heavily linked with a move to Ibrox last week as transfer deadline day approached.
