Jarrad Branthwaite has put an end to the speculation surrounding his future by signing a new long-term contract with Everton. The 21-year-old defender was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and Manchester City over the summer and again this week.
The promising young star was part of the England U21 squad that won the Euros this summer, and his performances caught the eye of the two Manchester clubs.
However, any move away from Everton has now become even more difficult after it was announced that he had signed a new deal until 2027.
When asked what had influenced his decision to stay at Everton, Jarrad said that he felt a strong connection with the club. He expressed his gratitude for the support he had received from the fans since he joined the club, saying that it had given him a huge boost of confidence.
The defender has since become a mainstay in Everton's side, and although performances and results have improved, the club still remains in a relegation battle. United meanwhile have other targets in mind with Lisandro Martinez set for a few months on the sidelines, including Jean-Clair Tobido from Nice and Antonio Silva from Benfica.
