Arsenal has emerged as one of the clubs expressing interest in Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite. The Englishman has been in excellent form for Everton this season following his return from a loan spell at PSV.
With Arsenal actively seeking defensive reinforcements, particularly in anticipation of Cedric Soares’ potential departure and amid inquiries about Jakub Kiwior, Branthwaite has caught their attention. Mikel Arteta’s side, having had a positive season, is keen on strengthening its options to secure a place within the Premier League’s top four.
Branthwaite’s impressive performances have attracted the interest of several top Premier League clubs. Everton, facing financial fair play issues, may need to sell players to address their financial challenges. As reported by Talk Sport, Arsenal is among the clubs impressed with Branthwaite’s performances and is considering a move for the talented defender.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Branthwaite has been one of the bright sparks in Everton’s season and looks like the real deal.
Moving to the Emirates means he will play with better players, and he will improve even further.
But we probably have to wait until the end of the season to sign a new defender unless we sell this month.

Oh dear LOL LOL
Do you have 100m ?? Seriously?? He has over
4 years on a 5 Yr contract with no relegation release clause. Best young CB in England who will only get better. Despite the gloom stories EFC dont need to have a ‘fire sale’. Cheers for the laugh though……Arsenal 😆 😄
Well, they’re flirting with relegation again so maybe a ‘fire sale’ just in case their best players end up wanting to jump ship isn’t such a bad idea. Barely survived the last 2 seasons, third time’s a charm?
Why’s Arteta obsessed with defenders, especially from other teams as opposed to Arsenal academy grads?
Arsenal has Timber, Kiewor, Maghaelas, White, Saliba, Zinchenko, Tierney, Tavares plus a few academy boys at home and on loan. What’s the obsession?
Is it hard to wrap his head around the need for a striker?
How do you know he is obsessed ? Because of a probably false rumer ?
And he should be obsessed with building a top squad with 18-19 top players, including in defence. That’s the only way to surpass city.
Why do we always think alike Molapo, why do we?? Each time I see arsenal linked with another defender, I feel like smashing my phone. How many defenders does this team need? Must we sign a new defender every transfer window when we have more pressing needs? Look at Madrid, militao out, alaba out, Mendy out yet ancelotti can still play football. His mistake last season was playing the useless holding ahead of kiwior when saliba got injured, by the time he realized and dropped holding for kiwior, boy it was already too late
Braithwaite is a terrific young prospect who could be a future England captain.However unless Arteta has plans to sell Gabriel or Kwior, or both, he is unlikely to join Arsenal with Man Utd his likely destination next season.
I think Arteta maybe obsessed with signing a new defender this winter window. But it’s because reasonably to some extent, some of the current Arsenal defence personnel apart of Saliba, Magalhaes, Kiwior, could fall into injury picking again to spend some spells on the sidelines during the 2nd half of the season as it’s pans on.
So therefore, Arsenal needing a new top quality defender as an option and depth to provide adequately cover if injury rears up its ugly head in the Gunners defence and strike a defender.
So therefore, a signing of Jarrad Branthwaite by Arsenal this winter window for defensive reinforcements is a correct step taken by the club if the transfer to Arsenal of Branthwaite is done by them.
Is that what we need at this time?. Wake up Arsenal!!
