Everton are set to deal with high levels of interest in Jarrad Branthwaite once again in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old has been a rock at the back for the Toffees in recent years since returning from a fruitful loan spell at PSV Eindhoven.
Alongside James Tarkowski, the England international has helped to create one of the best defensive lines in the Premier League under both Sean Dyche and David Moyes.
With that being said, there is always going to be a high level of interest in his signature as the Goodison hierarchy looks to fight off any incoming offers.

Everton adamant over Branthwaite stay
There is no doubt that the former Carlisle man is one of the brightest defender prospects emerging in the Premier League right now.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The fact that he has a senior England call-up only enhances the level of side looking into his signature but that doesn’t mean the Evertonians have to let him go.
Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti have already let their interest be known but no deal has gone through yet, ahead of the summer window opening.
GiveMeSport have now reported (25 March) that the Toffees are set to make it clear to suitors that Branthwaite isn’t for sale in the upcoming window.
Influential names behind the scenes at Goodison have made it clear that there is no intention to let Branthwaite leave before the end of his contract.
This could see new terms be put to the centre back ahead of the move to the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium next season.
This is likely to only enhance the Evertonians’ £50million evaluation of the Englishman as Moyes looks to keep hold of his best players before the start of the new campaign.

Branthwaite set for Everton stay
Under Moyes, the Toffees have gone from strength to strength and look set to have a positive year moving into the new stadium.
If the Scot can maintain the best parts of his squad over the summer and add from the market, the only way should be up on Merseyside.
Keeping Branthwaite could prove to be a huge part of the window, as his departure would leave a gaping hole in the backline in L4.

It will be interesting to see what the defender opts to do and whether a £50m-plus evaluation is enough to put off potential suitors.
