Tottenham Hotspur are very much in the race for the Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite at the end of the season.
The 22-year-old central defender has been linked with a move away from Everton and clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool are keen on him. According to Caught Offside, Spurs will rival the two Premier League clubs in the race to sign the English defender.
Branthwaite has already established himself as one of the best defenders in the league, and he has all the tools to develop into a world-class player. He has previously been described as “pretty special” by former Premier League star Jamie Carragher.
Branthwaite could develop into a key player for Tottenham if they can get the deal done. It is no secret that Tottenham need a quality central defender. The 22-year-old would be an exceptional acquisition for them. However, he is unlikely to be a cheap signing and he is likely to cost a premium. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to break the bank for him.
They are up against clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool as well. Both clubs have formidable resources and they have a great chance of getting the deal done as well.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can convince the player to join in the summer. He is one of the best young players in the world right now and signing would be a major coup for the North London club.
They need top-quality players like Branthwaite if they want to build a formidable squad for the future and fight for major trophies. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months. The young defender will want to join a competitive club where he will be able to fight for trophies consistently.
