Tottenham most interested as Everton prepare new Jarrard Branthwaite contract

Everton will hope Jarrad Branthwite stays this summer transfer window as Tottenham look to give Thomas Frank reinforcements.

The 22-year-old has been a standout player for the Toffees in recent seasons and has become a pivotal member of their backline.

It isn’t surprising to see that Spurs have shown interest in Branthwaite after his impressive displays at Goodison Park.

David Moyes has relied on James Tarkowski and the young centre-back since his return to the Blues dugout, with plans in place to keep it that way.

Everton expected to offer Branthwaite new contract after Tottenham snub

Branthwaite is expected to be offered a new contract at the Toffees if they fend off interest in him this summer, according to Echo.

The news outlet reports (11 June) that Tottenham look to be the club most interested in signing the 22-year-old in the coming months.

Despite the English defender putting pen to paper on a new deal 18 months back, his rise in importance means fresh terms are on the cards again.

The centre-back is tied down to the Merseyside outfit until 2027, and it would make sense to secure his future at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Moyes will hope to keep Branthwaite for new era at Bramley-Moore Dock

Moyes has done well since replacing Sean Dyche at the Toffees, helping them finish 13th in the Premier League after a poor first half of the season.

The Friedkin Group (TFG) have to back the Scottish manager this summer and build a squad capable of pushing further up the table, and maybe making it into a European competition.

Branthwaite’s future at Hill Dickinson Stadium looks set despite interest from some of the biggest teams in the Premier League.

Everton are set to start a new era under the American owners at Bramley-Moore Dock, and they should try to keep hold of their best players for at least a few more seasons.

West Ham United’s success in the UEFA Conference League shows that Moyes is capable of winning important silverware with the right tools.

The Scotsman has an opportunity to bring a major title to the Merseyside outfit since their FA Cup win in 1995.

With quality players like Branthwaite at the 62-year-old head coach’s disposal, he’ll arguably have a better chance of winning a trophy.

The English centre-back deserves a new contract and how his career unfolds in the coming future will be interesting to see.
