Everton and Manchester United claim to be poles apart over a Jarrad Branthwaite transfer
Deal or no deal? A curious game of cat and mouse seems to be unfolding over Jarrad Branthwaite between Everton and Manchester United. But will the player still be turning out in a royal blue jersey for the historic final season at Goodison Park?
Like Manchester United, England manager Gareth Southgate has been monitoring Branthwaite’s progress for a prolonged period having witnessed one of his most impressive performances to date up close when he attended Everton’s 2-0 win over Chelsea at Goodison Park on December 10. But despite calling him up for the high-profile Wembley friendlies against Brazil and Belgium in late March, Southgate failed to pick Branthwaite for either fixture.
Although Tarkowski, who has been capped twice by Southgate, has learned to live with his own omissions, he still believed there should have been a place on the plane for his club colleague. Ahead of Everton’s last game, the 31-year-old said: “I’ve had that opportunity. I used to get a lot more frustrated than I do now and it’s nice to see someone next to me who is playing so well to get in that squad and showing what it’s about.
If the aforementioned Grealish can command a nine-figure fee then so in time can Branthwaite and given his tender age and the premium for left-footed centre-backs and English players, there’s no reason he can’t be worth even more than a £100million in a few years’ time if his development continues on its current steep trajectory.
