Newcastle to challenge Tottenham for £15m Premier League star, his manager doesn’t want to lose him
Tottenham and Newcastle United will enter the summer transfer window with the objective of acquiring a midfielder and both clubs have an eye on a 22-year-old Premier League star.
According to Football Insider, Tottenham and Newcastle are monitoring the situation of James Garner at Everton as they eye a potential summer swoop.
The midfielder has been a key member of Sean Dyche’s squad this season having featured in 30 matches for the Toffees, scoring two goals and assisting another, and the former Burnley boss will not want to lose him.
However, Everton will struggle to keep hold of Garner if they are relegated from the Premier League and even if they aren’t, a big fee would help relieve some of their Financial Fair Play issues.
