Everton’s stance on James Garner transfer emerges amid Premier League interest
James Garner has been a key player for Everton this season, and that has not gone unnoticed.
Everton star Garner is a potential contender for the England squad for the World Cup next summer after his sensational form for the Hill Dickinson Stadium outfit.
He has emerged as a top-quality midfielder since joining the Blues from Manchester United in 2022, forging a brilliant partnership next to Idrissa Gueye, or helping out at left-back when needed.
Everton could face a battle to keep Garner around, especially after his impressive start to the campaign.

James Garner is out of contract at Everton next summer, but the Toffees have the option to extend that by a further year.
United in Focus claimed on 15 October that United want to bring Garner back to Old Trafford on a free transfer.
However, Mail Sport stated on 17 October stated that the Blues intend to keep players who can make a difference and Moyes loves his attitude and his willingness to play in whatever position he is asked.
Therefore, he will be staying put on Merseyside, there are no questions about that, according to the report.

Everton supporters will love Garner transfer latest
Garner is going nowhere, and that will be a relief to Toffees supporters, as they recognise the importance of the 24-year-old to Moyes’ side.
- Garner has featured nine times so far this season
- He has notched one goal and one assist
- Overall, he has 93 appearances for the Blues, with three goals and five assists
The ex-Red Devils ace has been a key cog for the Scotsman this season, completing 89.9 per cent of his passes, winning 2.56 tackles per 90 minutes and 59 per cent of his duels, per Sofascore.
Garner is a ready-made replacement for Gueye in midfield, when the Senegal star does eventually leave the Merseysiders, with his leadership skills already apparent.
If the Blues can agree new terms with Garner to keep him in L4, and the suggestion is that they can, it will be a huge boost for Evertonians everywhere.
