Newcastle United will reportedly compete with 22-year-old Manchester United academy graduate James Garner this summer.
The race for James Garner: Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur set to battle for Manchester United graduate this summer
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both reportedly eyeing up 22-year-old midfielder James Garner from Manchester United’s academy. Despite interest from both clubs, Everton has also been keeping tabs on Garner’s progress.
Garner’s journey from the Manchester United academy to his current position at Everton is an impressive one. While he struggled for game time at Manchester United, his move to Everton in September 2022 has seen him flourish. With 31 appearances and contributions of two goals and one assist under his belt this season, top clubs are now vying for his signature.
Tottenham have identified Garner as a potential alternative to Conor Gallagher, while Newcastle United see him as a solution to their midfield needs as they potentially face the departures of Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes. With Paris Saint-Germain interested in the Newcastle United duo, Garner has emerged as a viable target for the club.
As for Tottenham, the potential departures of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso have made signing a midfielder a priority, making Garner an attractive option.
Regardless of Everton’s fate in the current season, Garner’s growing reputation and young age make him a hot property ahead of the summer transfer window.
