Anthony Gordon has spoken warmly of his bond with Everton teammate Jarrad Branthwaite, amidst rumors of Newcastle United’s interest in the defender. Their camaraderie, which has been nurtured over years at Everton and solidified during their triumph at the Under-21 European Championship, was highlighted in a recent TikTok video. Gordon, when asked about his preferred seatmate on the England team bus, chose Branthwaite, citing their longstanding rapport.
This revelation comes as Branthwaite’s impressive performances have not only earned him an England call-up but also caught the attention of Manchester United, with a valuation of £75 million reportedly placed on him by Everton. The Toffees, striving to align with the Premier League’s financial regulations, might consider offloading some of their prized assets, including Branthwaite.
In a lighter moment from the same TikTok video, Harry Kane playfully teased Kieran Trippier, referring to him affectionately as ‘little man’. Despite Trippier’s absence due to injury, there’s optimism he’ll return to action for Newcastle’s upcoming match against West Ham. This blend of personal anecdotes and transfer market dynamics paints a vivid picture of the relationships and realities within professional football.
