HERE WE GO ✅: Arsenal ready to agree terms with 21-year-old Everton youngster, with the player due to join in January.
Everton will simply have to sell before buying if they want to spend any major money in the upcoming transfer windows.
After all, speaking with Dr. Dan Plumley merely confirmed the club’s financial difficulties, with his bleak forecast for expenditure in the next years proving difficult to decipher.
Fortunately, depending on your perspective, the Toffees have a plethora of top talent who have already piqued the curiosity of several of Europe’s finest.
And whilst Amadou Onana may have been earmarked as the man ‘more likely’ to depart out of him and Jarrad Branthwaite, it is the latter who now seems to be closing in on a move.
Which Premier League teams are attempting to sign Jarrad Branthwaite?
According to The Daily Mail, there is fierce interest to recruit the 21-year-old behemoth, who has prospered in the Premier League this season.
With Tottenham Hotspur’s interest well-documented and Real Madrid also interested, this latest report aims to summarise the size of elite outfits vying for Branthwaite’s signature.
They write: ‘Manchester United and Tottenham are pressing harder than others ahead of the summer transfer window for Jarrad Branthwaite.
With an estimated £100 million price tag, Sean Dyche will be excited, seeing it as a big opportunity to drive the price sky high.
How has Jarrad Branthwaite performed for Everton?
Whoever manages to peel Branthwaite away from Everton will be gaining a true treasure, even if they are forced to pay much above market value for his services.
However, it is now the norm in the Premier League, and given his status as a mature two-footed English centre-back with pace, height, and top-level experience, he fits the bill.
His continuous outstanding performances this season, his debut in England’s top flight, will only add to that impression.
