Chelsea fans see brilliant £70M star agree big five-year deal
Long-term CHELSEA transfer target Jarrad Branthwaite says he is “over the moon” to have signed a new five-year deal at Everton and end all the speculation regarding his future at the Merseysiders.
Branthwaite has become one of the most in-demand young centre-backs in the Premier League and is a player that we have been eyeing up for the last couple of transfer windows, with many believing that the Blues could make a move this summer.
However – Branthwaite says he is “over the moon” to have signed a new five-year deal at Everton and put an end to all the speculation – The 23-year-old evertontv: “I’m over the moon. It’s been something we’ve been talking about since the end of the season, and to get it signed now is something I’m really excited about.
“The trust the club’s put in me and how many games I’ve played over the past two seasons has made it quite an easy decision for me to stay and to keep progressing as a player.
“I know the club. I feel loved by the players – we’ve got a good group here – and the fans. Over the past few years, I’ve seen the impact the fans have on us as a team and how much it means to them. And, obviously, with the new stadium we’ve got here, the new ownership and the new manager, it’s an exciting project and it’s something I want to be part of.
“Moving to the new stadium together and having that first game at home is something we’re all looking forward to. We want to go again and push for a good season.”
He added: “The ambition was a huge thing. The way the manager wants us to go as a team and what he wants us to do for next season and where he wants us to challenge for has had a big impact on the decision. I think you saw towards the end of last season as a team what we can do.
“The manager has been really good, not only for me but for the group. You saw the change in results, the change in mood since he came in. He drives the demands every day to be better.”
