Ben Jacobs updates Everton on transfers while discussing Tottenham Hotspur’s position on James Garner
Journalist Ben Jacobs claims that James Garner, an Everton midfielder, is “appreciated” by Tottenham Hotspur.
Throughout the season, the 22-year-old has made 32 appearances for the Goodison Park team across all competitions, tallying two goals.
Conor Gallagher, a midfielder for Chelsea, is more likely to be targeted by the North London team, according to Jacobs.
“At this point, nothing is advanced, but Tottenham appreciates the player,” Jacobs said to GIVEMESPORT on February 26. “I think Conor Gallagher is a better candidate.”
Will Tottenham plot move for Everton ace James Garner?
After leaving Premier League opponent Manchester United, Garner wasn’t always a fixture at Goodison Park, but that has changed this year.
Under Sean Dyche, the youthful player is a clear favorite. Garner plays an important role in midfield with players like Idrissa Gueye and Amadou Onana.
Throughout the season, the Toffees have gained some crucial points thanks to his tackling, dribbling, and passing, and Dyche has benefited from his versatility when things got desperate.
If Tottenham decides to pursue the midfield player in North London, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss, but Goodison’s high-profile departure might significantly alleviate Everton’s financial difficulties.
These problems are well-documented from the recent past; in the Premier League, their internal problems cost them ten points.
The six points that were originally deducted have now been reduced, but the Merseyside team is still in danger of going down.
