Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League team, are reportedly interested in signing Everton midfielder James Garner during the upcoming summer transfer window. This comes after their failed attempt to acquire Conor Gallagher in January.
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur has set their sights on James Garner, a former Manchester United midfielder, as an early target for the summer transfer window. They are looking to strengthen their midfield options.
Garner has made a strong impression at Everton since joining them permanently for £15 million in the summer of 2022. His performances have caught the attention of several top-tier clubs, who are now monitoring his availability for the summer.
The 22-year-old has been a key player in Sean Dyche’s midfield over the past year and has consistently featured in Everton’s starting lineup as they fight to stay in the Premier League.
This season, Garner has played in 30 matches for Everton across all competitions, scoring two goals and providing one assist. This already surpasses his performance from last season, where he managed one assist in 17 matches.
In addition to his club success, Garner has also represented England at the youth level. He was part of the Under-21 squad that won the European Championship in 2023, alongside talented players such as Cole Palmer, Morgan Gibbs-White, Curtis Jones, Levi Colwill, Anthony Gordon, and many other Premier League stars.
As mentioned earlier, Tottenham Hotspur is actively searching for another midfielder for the 2024/25 season. While they initially targeted Conor Gallagher from Chelsea, their approach in January was rejected. If Gallagher doesn’t sign a new contract with Chelsea, Tottenham may make another attempt in the summer. However, they are also exploring alternative options in case Gallagher becomes unavailable.
Similar to Gallagher, Garner has the versatility to play in multiple positions in midfield and defense. This makes him an attractive candidate to work under Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, as reported by TEAMtalk.
