According to Fabrizio Romano, Sean Dyche revealed that he and Jarrad Branthwaite had been in negotiations for “a while” and that they were now nearing completion on a new contract.
The reputable journalist revealed on October 5 via his Twitter account that the 21-year-old will continue at Goodison Park after his current contract’s 2025 expiration date.The fact that Manchester United may be considering a transfer for Branthwaite following his good performances under Dyche thus far this season will be a plus for Everton.
This positive news should improve the atmosphere at Everton. With worries mounting over the potential purchase by 777 Partners and the team’s Premier League performances, a little bit of good news will provide much-needed relief.
Branthwaite spent the previous season playing on loan for PSV in the Dutch Eredivisie, where he made a significant contribution to their Dutch Cup success, earning the attention of many scouts and breaking into the Goodison Park first squad.
Since taking over for Michael Keane in Dyche’s team after the 4-0 loss to Aston Villa, his performances have stood out. With ability and experience well beyond his years, he has proven to be a dependable and excellent partner for James Tarkowski.
With the Toffees still trying to stay out of danger and the club still trying to compete strongly in the Premier League, the defender will now be looking to press on and earn his team crucial points.
