Everton line up summer replacement for Jarrad Branthwaite after source’s new reveal

Football Insider has been informed by insiders that Everton has found a “ready-made” substitute for

Jarrad Branthwaite in advance of the summer transfer window.

Premier League teams are very interested in 21-year-old Branthwaite ahead of the off-season.

However, on Monday, March 11, Football Insider disclosed that Everton has a strong interest in Hull City

defender Jacob Greaves, who is 23 years old.

This season, in the Championship, the 23-year-old has made an impression for the Tigers, making them

a serious challenger to secure a postseason spot.

Greaves is thought to be the inevitable choice by Everton officials to take Branthwaite’s place in the

middle of the Goodison Park defense.

Tottenham have also been linked with the Hull star, but sources say their interest is nowhere near as

strong following the January signing of Radu Dragusin from Genoa.

If Hull isn’t promoted this season, Greaves is expected to go to the top flight, according to Football

Insider’s well-placed source. However, Everton must stay in the division in order to complete the

transfer.

With 36 games in the Championship this season, the defender—whose contract expires in June 2026—

has two goals and four assists.
