21 years of age and a billion feet tall (roughly), it's easy to see why so many football fans are excited about Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
Once of Carlisle United in League Two and loaned out to PSV Eindhoven last season, the towering centre-back has been a revelation for the Toffees during the 2023/24 season and has, as a result, been linked with a number of Europe's top clubs.

A move to Chelsea makes sense then, right?
In a lot of ways yes, Chelsea need to replace 39-year-old Thiago Silva at some point and Branthwaite
