Pat Nevin Identifies Everton Youngster as Potential Breakthrough Star
Former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin has praised Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, tipping him to be next year’s “breathtaking breakthrough player” in the Premier League. Nevin, known for his astute observations, has been impressed with Branthwaite’s performances this season.
While discussing his favorite players to watch this season, Nevin mentioned Kaoru Mitomo, Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Cole Palmer. However, he made a special mention of Branthwaite, stating, “Oh yes, and keep an eye on Jarrad Branthwaite, he could be next year’s breathtaking breakthrough player.”
Nevin’s comment may seem like a footnote, but it highlights Branthwaite’s potential for continued growth and success. The 21-year-old defender has already made a significant impact this season, forming a strong partnership with James Tarkowski in Everton’s defense.
Branthwaite’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with top clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal reportedly interested in him. Despite Nevin’s suggestion that Branthwaite could be next year’s breakthrough player, it’s clear that he has already broken through this season.
Everton fans will hope that Branthwaite remains at the club for at least another year, continuing to develop his skills and helping the team push for success. With his potential and talent, the sky’s the limit for this young defender.
