Everton are facing a crucial 24 hours with Jarrad Branthwaite as Jake O'Brien emerges as a potential transfer target
Jarrad Branthwaite has been a man mountain at the back for Everton since breaking into the team early last season but regardless of whether or not the England international departs Goodison Park this summer, the Blues could bring in an even bigger defensive prospect.
For their part, the Blues maintain they will not be bullied into selling Branthwaite, or indeed any of their stars for less than what they deem to be a fair price with claims of a Goodison Park ‘fire sale’ this summer wide of the mark.
However, even if ‘The Carlisle Kaiser’ sticks around, director of football Kevin Thelwell is constantly looking at fresh options in all areas of the pitch. When it comes to central defensive options, Ben Godfrey has just been sold to Atalanta while James Tarkowski and Michael Keane are now both 31. The Daily Mail reports that Everton are one of a number of clubs keeping tabs on Jake O’Brien of Olympique Lyonnais. Rated at £15million, 2023/24 was, like for Branthwaite, a breakthrough season for the 23-year-old.
