Ross Barkley heads to Liverpool tattoo removers with fans fearing he is taking off club inking from arm
England international has already had roman numerals, which marks his Everton debut, removed from his arm
EVERTON fans believe Ross Barkley is removing a tattoo of the club crest from his arm.
The England midfielder visited aesthiticallyyou, a tattoo removal company, to continue work on getting rid of the full sleeve on his left arm.
Barkley has been itching to leave Goodison Park this summer for a new challenge after handing in a transfer request.
But a hamstring injury that has ruled him out until November scuppered a deadline day move to Chelsea.
With Barkley unable to join his team-mates in training, the 23-year-old has plenty of free time on his hands.
And he spent his Thursday at the tattoo removers after being snapped hobbling around on crutches.
But Everton fans quickly took to Twitter to suggest that he was having the club crest removed now he wants to leave the club.
One fan wrote: "Ross Barkley removing his Everton tattoo hahaha the geez actually hates us."

Another wants Barkley out of the club when they wrote: "Barkley getting his tattoo removed or?? I actually cannot wait till he leaves."
Barkley also had tattoo 'XX.VIII.MMXI' removed from his arm which is the date on his debut against Queens Park Rangers on August 20, 2011.
He is almost certain to leave the Blues in January with both Chelsea and Tottenham still interested in landing his signature.
