Leeds United tipped to replace Jarrad Branthwaite with Man Utd star as double deal mooted.
Everton are interested in Man Utd duo Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof
Everton have started the transfer window quickly, already on the verge of their third signing, and now they’re reportedly eyeing two Manchester United stars.
The Toffees have brought in Tim Iroegbunam from Aston Villa and re-signed Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds and former Sheffield United man Iliman Ndiaye is on his way.
Sean Dyche knows there is more work to be done if he wants to take his team back to the top half of the Premier League table, but more signings will likely mean players are sold.
A report from talkSPORT claims that fans should ‘keep an eye out’ for Everton trying to poach a couple of Man Utd stars who’ve been deemed surplus to requirements by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
This comes amid claims that the Red Devils are planning a fresh bid for Jarrad Branthwaite after Everton laughed off their first offer of £43m (including add-ons).
Everton will stand firm on their £70m valuation though and it’s worth noting that other players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Amadou Onana have also been heavily linked with exits, so Branthwaite could end up staying at Goodison Park.
Everton to hijack ‘agreed’ Wan-Bissaka deal
According to talkSPORT’s report, Everton are ‘one of a number of clubs’ interested in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has just 12 months remaining on his Man Utd contract.
Man Utd are looking generate cash for the summer and reports suggest that they’d be willing to part ways with Wan-Bissaka for roughly £12.5m.
He could compete with Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young for a starting spot at Everton, who are both past their best at 35 and 38 years old respectively.
The Toffees do have Nathan Patterson in their squad but despite his potential Dyche doesn’t seem convinced, handing him just nine Premier League starts in 2023/24.
