Jarrad Branthwaite, a target for Manchester United to replace an injured Lisandro Martinez in January, is close to extending his Everton deal.WHAT HAPPENED?
Erik ten Hag is dealing with a injury crisis, with the Argentine centre back becoming the latest member to join the treatment room. Martinez is, but their pursuit might end in disappointment as Sean Dyche revealed that the club is in talks with the England U21 centre back over a new contract."I would think things are probably close now, we’ve been speaking to him for a while. As we do with all players, we’ve been keeping open lines of communication," he told reporters.
“We made it clear that we wanted him to come back in pre-season and to do what he does in front of us because you can only tell so much through a screen as the stories we heard were very positive. He missed a bit of pre-season, which is unfortunate, to get him up to real fitness but he’s come into the side and has done well."Everton will host Bournemouth next in the Premier League on Saturday while United will play against Brentford at the same time.
