Tottenham fans receive exciting news on potential Jarrad Branthwaite approach
Tottenham Hotspur are considering an offer for England international centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite and they could make their approach as early as this week, but they will face plenty of competition for his signature.
Amidst the continued speculation over Cristian Romero’s potential departure from Tottenham, it has been claimed over recent days that Thomas Frank is prioritising signing a centre-back this summer.
It was reported last month that Spurs could turn to Jarrad Branthwaite after Marc Guehi rejected their approach.
A couple of weeks ago, one source claimed that Tottenham and Man United look set to battle it out for Branthwaite, and it appears that the Lilywhites are now looking to steal a march on the competition for the Everton man.
Tottenham could make approach for Jarrad Branthwaite this week
The Daily Mail have now claimed that the Lilywhites are currently weighing up an approach for the England international.
The outlet suggests that Tottenham Hotspur may formalise their interest in Branthwaite this week, despite Everton telling suitors that the 22-year-old is not for sale.
However, Spurs are not alone in their admiration for the centre-back, with Chelsea also pondering a move for the in-demand defender.
The outlet says that Man United have already had a £50m offer for Branthwaite turned down by the Toffees, while Man City and Liverpool are also keeping an eye on the youngster’s situation.
How much will Tottenham have to pay for Branthwaite?
While David Moyes is desperate to keep the Everton academy graduate at the club, the centre-back is thought to be keen on playing Champions League football.
Additionally, it is pointed out that Everton is also in danger of falling foul of PSR, which is why they will consider substantial bids that come their way for the defender.
The publication asserts that an offer of £70m may be enough to prise Branthwaite away from the Merseyside club.
