‘Monster on our hands’… Ian Wright blown away by 21-year-old who Arsenal want to sign
Ian Wright has raved about Everton defender and reported Arsenal target Jarrad Branthwaite.
The 21-year-old has emerged as a Mikel Arteta target after an impressive sea�𒐪�son at Goodison Park so far.
Arsenal are just one of a host of top clubs monitoring Jarrad Branthwaite, with the likes of Real Madrid, Tottenham and Manchest🐬er United also said to be𝔉 keen.
The youngster has been ever-present for the Toffees this term and netted his second goal of the campaign in a 1-1 draw wi🔥th Brighton on Saturday.
And his latest display for Everton has led to high praise from Arsenal legend Ian Wright, who has labelled the defender a ‘monster’.
Wright raves about Arsenal target Branthwaite
Speaking on , the former Gunners striker claimed that Branthwaite deserves to receive an England call-up off the bac🍷k of his impressive displ🍸ays.
“I would like to give flowers to Jarrad Bra෴n✨thwaite,” Wright said. “I believe now he will be in the next England squad. He has got everything.
“You watch how he plays, left-sided as well, he plays out well. Very brave. And then when you listen to his interview he sounds like somebody who is like yeah, I’m there, I🎃’m here.
“He should be called up. And not only that, he should be played. Let’s have a look at him. I’m telling you we have a mꩲonster on our hands at left-sided centre-half. A monster.”
Branthwaite has quickly established himself as a regular under Sean Dyche this season and is seen as one of the best prospects in the Premier League.
It’s no surprise to see a host of top clubs sniffing around the centre-back already. But Arsenal would face stern composition for his signature should t𝓀hey decide to firm up their interest.
With Real Madrid also keen, Everton are reportedly set to d🦹emand around for the defender this summer.
Arsenal aren’t exactly desperate for reinforcements at cent🍨re-back either, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes forming an exceptional partnership over the past year.
