Tottenham 'confident' of beating Manchester United to sign Branthwaite
Tottenham Hotspur would be “sure” to win manchester united in the race to sign Everton star Jarrad Branthwaite this summer, according to Soccer insider information.
The Lilywhites began the campaign with a thin defensive department and following the absence of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, were left without a recognized centre-back at one point this season.
So, Ange Postecoglou decided to strengthen the defensive line by buying Radu Dragusin from Genoa in this winter window. However, it appears that, although they opted to sign a defender last month, the north London club are still looking to add another ahead of next campaign.
A few names have been linked with a move to the newly renovated White Hart Lane in recent times, including Branthwaite. Anyway, that It has been suggested that Man Utd are also interested in strengthening their defense by signing a new centre-back. They have also been looking at various defensive options with Branthwaite on his radar.
However, according to the report Soccer insider informationTottenham Hotspur are “confident” they can beat the Red Devils in this race.

It has been suggested that Everton are in financial difficulty so they could be forced to cash in on him this summer, but they are unwilling to let Branthwaite leave cheaply and willingly. at least £75 million. So Tottenham or Man Utd will have to pay a huge fee to lure the Englishman away from Goodison Park.
However, Soccer insider information claims that Spurs are not put off by the valuation and feel they are in a strong financial position to sign Branthwaite at matching the Toffees' asking price.
Following a successful loan spell at PSV Eindhoven last season, the 21-year-old has managed to establish himself as an integral part of Sean Dyche's starting XI this season.
The defender, who is 6ft 5in tall, is fast, strong, good in the air, comfortable playing out from the back, excellent in defensive contributions and also reads the game well.
The Everton star is a highly talented player and has the potential to become a top-class defender in the future. Therefore, it would be a big coup for Tottenham or Man Utd if either club manages to secure his signature.
It will be interesting to see if the north London club will eventually be able to beat the Red Devils in this race if they face each other for this deal during the off-season.
