Liverpool ready to make January move for Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a bold move for Everton’s young defender Jarrad Branthwaite in the upcoming January transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

The 22-year-old centre-back attracted considerable interest over the summer, particularly from Manchester United, who had two bids rejected by Everton.

Liverpool’s defense faced a setback when long-time defender Joel Matip departed after his contract expired, and the club is looking to strengthen its options at the back.

The Reds had a quiet summer transfer window and only managed to sign two players; goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and winger Federico Chiesa.

They are now looking strengthen their options at the back and Everton defender Branthwaite is the player they have identified.

The England international has experienced a prominent rise in the game following his impressive time at Goodison Park and that has attracted the attention of some of the biggest clubs in England.
