Tottenham Hotspur have been keeping a close eye on Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite as they weigh up a potential summer move for the highly-rated centre-back.
However, securing his signature will not be easy, with several Premier League giants—including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Manchester City—also in the race.
Tottenham are tracking Jarrad Branthwaite
Branthwaite, 22, has established himself as one of the Premier League's standout defenders, attracting interest from top clubs both in England and abroad.
While Real Madrid have previously been linked with the young centre-back, it is English clubs that are currently leading the chase.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham have been tracking Branthwaite this season, closely monitoring his situation at Everton.
The defender is now reportedly considering his future after being snubbed by Thomas Tuchel for England's latest squad.
The report claims that Liverpool and Manchester City are also keeping tabs on the player, while Manchester United remain firmly in the mix.

Everton, on the other hand, are desperate to retain him and are prepared to triple his wages in an effort to convince him to stay.
However, given the club's ongoing struggles, Branthwaite may be tempted by a move to a club competing for major honours.
Could Branthwaite replace Romero at Spurs
Tottenham's interest in Branthwaite comes at a time when uncertainty surrounds Cristian Romero's future at the club.
Reports suggest the Argentine defender has been left 'deeply upset' over how his injury was handled, fuelling speculation that he could seek a move away.
Real Madrid have emerged as strong contenders for Romero, and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has reportedly given the World Cup winner an ultimatum to sign a new contract.
If Romero departs, Tottenham would have the financial resources to invest in a top-tier replacement.
Branthwaite's price tag is expected to be around £70 million, making him a costly but potentially ideal replacement.
However, whether Spurs are prepared to splash the cash on a new centre-back remains to be seen.
With competition heating up and the summer transfer window approaching, Tottenham must act decisively if they wish to land one of England's most promising defensive talents.
