Everton set ‘big’ James Garner price tag as Tottenham and Newcastle United swoop – Sources..
Football Insider revealed on Monday (19 February) that Tottenham and Newcastle United are keeping tabs on Garner, 22, ahead of a prospective transfer.
A well-placed source has already told Football Insider that Garner “ticks a lot of boxes” for both clubs with the off-season swiftly coming.
Spurs and Newcastle will be in the lookout for midfield reinforcements this summer.
Garner signed Everton from Man United in 2022 for £15million.
Everton want ‘big’ Garner profit as Tottenham and Newcastle ready to face head-to-head
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that the Toffees will be ready to bank a “big” profit on the midfield star and will hold out for about £20-25million.
The former Nottingham Forest loanee will have two years remaining on his contract in June.
Young English players are at a premium, meaning Everton can hang out for a big-money fee for Garner despite their severe financial circumstances.
It is believed Sean Dyche’s side will have a serious battle to keep the versatile midfielder in the summer window – especially if they suffer relegation to the Championship.
He has made 22 Premier League starts in 30 appearances across all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign, notching two goals and one assist.
Everton’s ability to demand a high sum for Garner could rely on their top-flight status.
The Toffees, who were penalized 10 points earlier this season, moved out of the relegation zone on goal difference on Monday (19 February) after drawing 1-1 against Crystal Palace.
