Ian Wright is singing the praises of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who is rumored to be a target for Arsenal. The 21-year-old has caught the eye of manager Mikel Arteta with his stellar performances at Goodison Park this season. Alongside Arsenal, top clubs like Real Madrid, Tottenham, and Manchester United are also reportedly showing interest in Branthwaite.
Branthwaite, who scored his second goal of the season in a recent match against Brighton, has been a consistent presence for Everton. The young defender’s impressive display has earned him high praise from Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who describes him as a “monster” and believes he deserves a call-up to the England squad.
The former Gunners striker is impressed by Branthwaite’s playing style and confidence, and believes he has the potential to be a dominant force on the left side of the defense. With a growing reputation as one of the Premier League’s best prospects, Branthwaite is attracting attention from several clubs.
Although Arsenal already have a strong partnership in defense with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, the club may face tough competition in securing Branthwaite’s signature, with Everton rumored to demand around £75 million for the defender.
