Chelsea set for reinforcement! Jarrad Branthwaite could join the London club

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are interested in signing Everton's central defender.

Details: Chelsea continue their search for reinforcements ahead of next season. The London club have set their sights on Everton's 22-year-old centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite.

Sources report that Chelsea's interest emerged after Manchester United were previously said to be ready to offer £50 million for the defender.

Branthwaite is open to joining a club competing in the Champions League, making Chelsea a priority destination for the player.

Despite all the speculation, it's understood that David Moyes is not yet prepared to let the player go, as he faces squad depth issues: James Tarkowski is still recovering from hamstring surgery.
