British media reports have revealed Tottenham Hotspur's interest in signing Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton's defender, during the summer transfer window.

According to the "Daily Mail," Tottenham has prioritized the 22-year-old player, as the club seeks to strengthen its backline, especially with the team participating in the Champions League next season.

This interest comes at a time when Manchester United had shown admiration for Everton's defender for a while, but its position regarding a renewed approach to the deal remains unclear for now.

Despite Everton's insistence on keeping Branthwaite and considering him not for sale, the player is open to the move to a bigger club, giving Tottenham an advantage in negotiations.

Branthwaite participated in 32 matches with Everton last season, providing one assist without scoring.
