Tottenham to table Branthwaite ‘bid’ as Moyes stance emerges
Tottenham have been linked with a move for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer transfer window.
Spurs have qualified for the Champions League after winning the Europa League and are now eyeing signings to strengthen them for next season.
Daniel Levy still has to make a decision on Ange Postecoglou and whether or not to sack him after finishing 17th in the Premier League.
Spurs to test the waters for Branthwaite
According to the Daily Mail (3 June, Page 67), Tottenham are expected to test the waters for Branthwaite.
David Moyes does not want to lose the 22-year-old but that has not stopped clubs from being interested in him.
| Season | Appearances |
| 2024/25 | 30 |
| 2023/24 | 35 |
This could mean that a bid from the Lilywhites for Branthwaite might be on the cards.
Cristian Romero could leave Tottenham this summer and they may see the Everton defender as his replacement.
Chelsea are also linked with a move for the Englishman and are weighing up an approach for him.
Tottenham must look to sign Branthwaite if Romero leaves
Branthwaite would be a quality signing for Tottenham, offering a seamless replacement for Romero, whose future is uncertain due to interest from clubs like Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
At 22, Branthwaite combines youth with proven Premier League experience, having been a standout in Everton’s defence alongside James Tarkowski.
His physicality, aerial prowess and composure on the ball align perfectly with Ange Postecoglou’s high-line, possession-based system.
Branthwaite’s ability to read the game and contribute to build-up play makes him an ideal fit to partner Micky van de Ven, creating a robust, dynamic centre-back pairing for the long term.
His England debut and consistent performances under pressure highlight his readiness for a step up to a Champions League club like Spurs.
Valued at around £50-70million, Branthwaite represents a high-potential investment, fitting Tottenham’s strategy of targeting young, impactful players.
With Everton potentially open to cashing in and Branthwaite reportedly considering his future after missing England’s recent squad, Spurs could secure a defender capable of filling Romero’s boots while adding value for years to come, strengthening their backline for European and domestic challenges.
