It looks like Newcastle United will face intense competition for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite this summer.
The Chronicle revealed that Steve Nickson was at Old Trafford last weekend to watch the highly-rated centre-back and FootballTransfers have already reported that Eddie Howe is a huge fan of the 21-year-old.
However, it’s believed Dan Ashworth is now pushing Man Utd to make a summer move for the Carlisle-born defender after previously recommending him during his time on Tyneside
FootballTransfers’ Jacque Talbot reports that our former sporting director has advised the Red Devils to move swiftly for the Toffees star, believing a deal in the region of £65m could be agreed now Everton must secure a big sale to help them stay within Profit and Sustainability Regulations.
Branthwaite has been reunited with former teammate Anthony Gordon at St George’s Park this week, with the pair handed their first call-ups to the England senior side ahead of friendlies with Brazil and Belgium over the next week.
He’d be a superb signing and looks to be one of the top young defenders in the country, but it looks like we might’ve missed the boat based on his ever-increasing price tag and the number of clubs now vying for his signature.
