Everton boss Sean Dyche has affirmed Jarrad Branthwaite's commitment to his football amid transfer interest. After being sidelined at the season's start, Branthwaite saw action in Everton's recent victory against Crystal Palace despite recent transfer distractions.
Despite drawing eyes from big clubs, notably Manchester United with a substantial but insufficient £50million offer and speculative interest from Liverpool that falls short of Everton's £70m valuation, the youthful defender remains focused as per his manager.
Dyche emphasised Branthwaite's concentration on the pitch stating: "There is a lot going on for him outside of what we do, nothing to do with him [but] there are stories everywhere about him.
He seems fine other than being injured, which has been a blow to him."
