Tottenham Hotspur are connected with a bid for Everton midfielder James Garner.
The 22-year-old has been very impressive for Everton this season, and it will be intriguing to see if the Toffees can keep him beyond the season.
They are currently in a relegation battle, and if they are relegated to the Championship, they may struggle to retain their finest players.
Tottenham are aiming to improve the quality and depth in the middle of the field, and Garner has been highlighted as a potential target. Former Tottenham custodian Paul Robinson believes it would be a simple transaction given Everton‘s FFP issues.
The Toffees need to balance their books, and if a large bid is made, they may be forced to sell some of their important players. Furthermore, if Everton get relegated this season, Garner may be enticed to stay in the Premier League.
However, Robinson believes Garner is not skilled enough to lead them to the next level and is simply a quality player.
“Whether he’s deployed as an attacking midfielder or sits, I know he can do both, but when you look at the players they have, do you see him as an improvement to the squad?”
“Because of Everton’s FFP situation, the Garner one may be simple to complete. Given Everton‘s points [deduction], the bigger vultures may find Everton easy pickings at the conclusion of the season.
“And agreements may be more appealing to be done for their players, particularly if they are in the Championship.
Tottenham have also been connected with Chelsea‘s midfielder Conor Gallagher.
It is clear that they are seeking for a quality centre midfielder, and it remains to be seen who they will eventually sign.
They are currently vying for Champions League qualification and are well-positioned to finish in the top four. A return to the Champions League would provide them with extra resources while also making them an appealing destination for players.
