TRANSFER CONFIDENTIAL: Real Madrid eye Everton's 21-year-old Jarrad Branthwaite, why Man United's shock link to a Bayern star is actually of little surprise... plus FOUR clubs want one wonderkid

Everton centre back Jarrad Branthwaite is on Real Madrid's radar ahead of a potential summer move.

The 21-year-old has had a stand-out season alongside James Tarkowski at the heart of Everton's defence and has played himself into the reckoning for Gareth Southgate's next England squad and earned a new contract that ties him to the club for another three years with the option of another year.

A number of Premier League and foreign sides have taken note, Manchester United and Tottenham in particular, but it is the interest of Real that will excite the young Cumbrian.
