Carragher has stated his love for the player.Jarrad Branthwaite, who plays for Everton, has established himself as a star performer in his breakthrough season.
He has established himself as a regular fixture in central defense with James Tarkowski and has accumulated 26 games across all competitions.
The left-footed defender, who is 21 years old, has demonstrated an impressive level of maturity on the field, which has led to requests for his inclusion in the England squad and has attracted interest from a number of elite clubs, including Manchester United.
Carragher, a former Liverpool defender, is unquestionably convinced of Branthwaite’s quality, despite the fact that Everton is expected to want a big amount for their prized asset.
During the Monday Night Football broadcast on Sky Sports, Carragher expressed his admiration for Branthwaite by remarking, “I think he is [special].”
The fact that we have a significant number of center backs in the Premier League who are under the age of 21 is another thing that makes this league truly remarkable.
Carragher reminisced on his own experience as a young defender, highlighting the difficulties that come with playing in a position that is so demanding.
The outstanding performances of Branthwaite, in particular his relationship with James Tarkowski, were cited by him as being a significant factor in Everton’s chances of avoiding relegation.
The year 2020 marked the beginning of Branthwaite’s rise to popularity, when he made the move from Carlisle to Everton.
Over the course of his loan stints with Blackburn Rovers and PSV, he was able to acquire crucial experience that helped him secure a berth on the first squad.
During his time at PSV, Branthwaite got the opportunity to train under Ruud van Nistelrooy, a former striker for Manchester United.
According to reports, van Nistelrooy gave a glowing reference to Branthwaite when United sought his opinion on the young defender.
In spite of the fact that Everton had been associated with Liverpool in the past, Branthwaite just signed a new four-year contract with the club, thereby committing his future to Everton.
