Everton considers offers for Jake O’Brien amid transfer interest
Summary

Everton is open to offers for defender Jake O’Brien as the transfer deadline approaches, according to The Athletic. The 25-year-old, who played 35 Premier League matches last season, has been utilized primarily as a right-back, despite preferring a central role. With Everton's current roster featuring three senior center-backs, O’Brien’s future in the squad appears uncertain. Financially, the club could command a solid fee for him, as he is valued at over €18 million. This decision could also prompt Everton to seek a specialist right-back, with potential targets like Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz and Fulham’s Timothy Castagne.
