Everton transfer news as Fulham twist emerges in Davinson Sanchez race
Everton, Fulham, West Ham and Napoli want to sign former Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez, according to Caught Offside.
The news outlet reported on 20 May that with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich keen on signing Jarrad Branthwaite, the Toffees have identified Sanchez as his replacement.
The 27-year-old Colombia international is currently plying his trade at Turkish club Galatasaray.
Davinson Sanchez may not be the answer for Everton
Sanchez is not a suitable replacement for Branthwaite at Goodison Park, as he represents a significant downgrade in terms of talent and potential.
The 21-year-old is a young, promising English defender who has shown great ability and potential during his time at the Toffees.
He has been a key player in the team’s defensive setup under Sean Dyche, and his performances have attracted interest from top clubs like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich.
Sanchez, on the other hand, is an experienced defender but has struggled to maintain a consistent level of performance and was not deemed good enough for the Premier League which is why he was sold by Spurs.
While he could provide some short-term stability, he doesn’t offer the same long-term potential as Branthwaite.
The Toffees should do everything in their power to keep Branthwaite, as losing him would be a major blow to the team’s defensive capabilities and future prospects.
If they do sell him for a significant fee, they must reinvest that money into signing a defender who can strengthen the playing eleven and has a high ceiling for growth.
