Everton’s summer may have been a successful one thus far, but that could all change with one big sale.
After all, the departure of a Jordan Pickford or a Jarrad Branthwaite type figure would mark a hammer blow for Sean Dyche, who relies heavily on these two especially to underpin his rock-solid defence.
Last campaign, only three sides in the Premier League conceded less than the Toffees.
And yet, there seems to be this odd fascination with the latter of the duo, consistently linking him with moves away.
Manchester United’s interest in Branthwaite has been well-documented, whilst rumours have persisted suggesting others are keeping an eye out.
Fabrizio Romano update hints that Everton could be safe
As of yet, there has been no movement though.
Just one hugely insulting bid from the Red Devils is all that the Toffees have received as far as we are aware, which makes for a positive reading for Evertonians.
And, the latest update on Erik ten Hag’s transfer plans for the summer, dropped by journalist Fabrizio Romano, should add further fuel to that fire.
