I don’t want to upset anyone but Liverpool should plot transfer move for Everton’s best playe


One player really grabbed my attention during Saturday’s Merseyside derby – and he wasn’t wearing the famous red shirt.

There weren’t many in a Liverpool kit who really took the game to Sean Dyche’s side, although it didn’t matter all that much in the end as Mohamed Salah did what he does best by scoring twice despite not being at his brilliant best.

Salah may have been the headline-grabber, but it was Jarrad Branthwaite who stood out the most at Anfield. I think he is a really good player. I first saw him play in a mini derby at Finch Farm a few years ago and he caught my eye then. He enjoyed a successful loan spell abroad at PSV Eindhoven last season and looks like a real talent.

I don’t want to upset any Evertonians by saying this, and whether Liverpool would buy from Everton is another matter as it rarely happens, but I certainly think he has got the ability to go on and become a leading figure and a starter for England.

The fact Jurgen Klopp even talked him up before the game in his pre-match press conference was interesting. He is likely to be on the radar of other teams as well, Manchester United have already been mentioned as a possible destination, but it’s up to Everton over what they do with him. Branthwaite recently signed a new contract with Everton, too. I’m looking at Everton’s team and, if you want to go forward as a club, those are the type of players you have to keep around. Whether or not Everton can do that, only time will tell.

A left-sided centre-back is something we were in the market for during the summer transfer window, which we didn’t end up signing in the end. If we were to make a move for Branthwaite, he would probably cost a significant amount due to the English premium that we so often see in the game. Coming to Liverpool would be hard for the lad, it takes a bit of doing to make that switch across Stanley Park. I don’t want to upset anyone, I will stress that again, but I think he has a really bright future.
