Authenticity (4/5): Sky Sports drop bombshell update
Jarrad Branthwaite is considering his future at Everton after being left out of Thomas Tuchel's first England squad. Manchester United and Liverpool are among the clubs understood to be interested in the Englishman.
The story comes from Sky Sports, who are undoubtedly one of the most reliable sources in England.
Value (3/5): Everton to demand big
Everton turned down multiple bids from United last summer and they are bracing themselves for more approaches at the end of the season. It is expected that the Toffees would demand north of £50million to part ways with their star central defender.
Suitability (4/5): Thrives in wide areas
The 6ft 4in defender has the incredible physique and athleticism needed to thrive in the Premier League. Further, he would be ideal for Ruben Amorim's back-three formation as he enjoys defending in wide areas.
Upgrade? (3.5/5): New threat for Heaven
In Lisandro Martinez's absence, Ayden Heaven has enjoyed an impressive run of games as the left-sided centre-back under Amorim. However, the arrival of the England international may lead to limited minutes moving forward for the young United defender.
Logic (4/5): England hopes
Branthwaite is enjoying another impressive campaign at Goodison Park but Thomas Tuchel's decision to overlook his performances may push the player to join a giant club like United and play at the highest level to attract more eyeballs and senior caps.
Whisper+ verdict: 18.5/25
With Branthwaite considering his future at Everton, David Moyes' side might be unable to keep hold of their prized asset this summer.
