Everton transfer news: £75m claim emerges as Tottenham want to sign Jarrad Branthwaite
Everton are understood to be holding out for £75million if they are to sell Tottenham Hotspur target Jarrad Branthwaite, according to Football Transfers.
The news outlet reported on 11 December that the 21-year-old is now their top transfer target in the January transfer window.
It’s said that the Spurs hierarchy greatly admire the performances he’s put in this season for Sean Dyche’s side.
Too good to turn down?
If Spurs, with their billionaire owner, can match the Toffees’ asking rate, it might be too good an offer to turn down, with Dyche also understanding the financial ramifications.
He undoubtedly realises Branthwaite’s immense potential, evident in the player’s new long-term contract and his emergence as a standout performer in the Premier League.
The young defender’s value extends beyond his current contribution, with Everton envisioning him as a future England first-team player.
However, the financial landscape at Everton presents a compelling argument for accepting the substantial offer.
The club has grappled with profit and sustainability issues, a 10-point deduction, and the impending arrival of new owners.
The significant financial injection from Branthwaite’s sale could alleviate some of these challenges, allowing for squad improvements and adherence to financial fair play regulations so these factors may come into play.
