Manchester City is looking to strengthen their squad this summer, with one of their reported targets impressing Alan Shearer in a recent match. The team beat Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, with Bernardo Silva scoring the winning goal. Meanwhile, Everton secured a vital 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest, with defender Jarrad Branthwaite catching the eye with a strong performance.
Branthwaite has been a standout performer for Everton, particularly in their defensive line, as they fight to stay in the Premier League. His assured display in the recent match earned him a spot in Alan Shearer’s Premier League Team of the Week. The 21-year-old defender has shown composure at the back and is valued at around £60 million, drawing comparisons to City’s John Stones.
Former City captain Vincent Kompany has praised Branthwaite as a ‘really promising’ player, fueling speculation that Manchester City may make a move for him. With Stones’ injury record and City’s defensive issues this season, Branthwaite’s calm and composed style of play could be a valuable addition to Guardiola’s squad. It remains to be seen if City will pursue the young defender, but his performances are certainly catching the attention of top clubs.
