Branthwaite makes decision on his future amid Chelsea and Tottenham interest

Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite has long been on the radar of top clubs, and after missing out on the England squad, he was leaning towards leaving the Toffees. Now, his decision has become clear.

Details: According to Sky Sports, the 23-year-old centre-back is set to sign a new contract with Everton. The final details of the agreement are currently being ironed out, and both parties are expected to put pen to paper, potentially as soon as next week.

Branthwaite had previously attracted interest from Champions League contenders, including Chelsea and Tottenham, and earlier, Manchester United had also shown interest. However, Everton remained determined to keep hold of their central defender and refused to consider a sale. The player himself is now fully focused on the upcoming season with the Toffees.

Reminder: It was previously reported that Everton, alongside Manchester United, are targeting Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
