Everton are gearing themselves up for the biggest summer transfer window in a number of years.
The Friedkin Group have lined the Toffees up for a very interesting first summer market under their stewardship.
David Moyes has done the business on the pitch with his players currently boasting a nine-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.
Work in the background continues with Everton confirming their new director in the latest of the changes to the club’s hierarchy.
Everton will need to act in the summer market, with a considerable number of players set to depsrt at the end of their deals.
However, there is one player – still under contract – who the Toffees will be desperate to keep ahold of with Jarrad Branthwaite said to be considering his Everton future.
TBR Football’s Chief Transfer Correspondent Graeme Bailey has now shared the latest to Everton News on the club’s response to these fresh reports.

This has sparked a response from The FA who have reassured the player and club this is not the case.
Tuchel’s decision was made purely through his own choice and does not have anything to do with what club the 23-year-old is playing for.
Branthwaite has admitted he wants to win trophies in his career, which may only fuel the speculation surrounding his future.
Everton are keen to reward Branthwaite with a new contract
Branthwaite has loved working under Moyes since January and the 61-year-old has the defender keen to sign a new deal.
Everton are receiving interest in the 23-year-old ahead of the summer, with Manchester United keen to sign Branthwaite for Ruben Amorim.
But the Toffees are not looking to offload their prised defender just yet, but the Toffees hold all the cards in any situation.
With two years remaining on his current deal, Everton’s valuation of Branthwaite remains strong even if the player does refuse the new contract offered.
England fans want to see Branthwaite called up after Burn’s debut against Armando Broja and Albania last week.
The defender now has just a couple of months to earn himself a spot in the squad for June’s friendlies.
