 Welcome to the Everton News Daily. Jared Branthwaite has signed a new long-term deal at Everton Football Club, despite being linked with the move to Manchester United and Manchester City. The young defender has committed his long-term future at Gullison Park. He signed a four-year deal with an option of a further year. The contract reportedly has no buy-out clause in it, which is good. Branthwaite, who signed for £1m from Carlisle United in January 2020 by Marcel Brans, was the one who signed him. He's been an excellent form for Everton so far this season, having enjoyed a really good season on loan with PSV in Holland last season. He's come back in to it this season, forced his way into Shondite to start on 11, and is now forging a partnership with James Tarkowski at the heart of the Everton Defence. He was delighted to sign a new contract. It feels like home here, the support he gets from the fans, and they wanted to really establish himself at the heart of Everton's defence. I think it's really good news. Obviously, just right now we've been given a lot of kicks. We're not winning games at home. There's uncertainty around the takeover, and a lot of Evertonians are feeling a little bit battered and bruised, so this will come as a real positive bit of news. It should be as well, so we're delighted that Jared has committed his long-term future to Everton. He's also been rewarded with that bike being called up into Lycarsies under 21 England squad as well. He's been called up for the European qualifying games against Serbia and the Ukraine, so we're a good look to him in them. German journalist Christian Volk says that Everton have a concrete interest in Hoffenheim forward Maximilian Bayer. A reported fee for the rapid attacker is around 17 million euros, 20 years of age. He has scored four goals in six games in the Bundesliga so far this season. Everton have been keeping tabs on him for some time. Who knows? Who knows? He's exactly the type of profile we should be looking at, a pacey young player who can get better with the bigger ceiling, higher ceiling. Liverpool apparently also like him. Another couple of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on him as well, so that might be one to keep an eye on as well. Finally, Andoni Iriola, the Bournemouth manager, has been given his pre-match press conference ahead of Bournemouth trip to Everton tomorrow. He said it was a good opportunity for Bournemouth to get three points and also add some comments on what he expects his Bournemouth side to face when coming to go to some park tomorrow. Hear this comment. They are physically very powerful. They have players that cover a lot of space, that's why they are so good in second balls with the Korea, Iona and Anna. They make big their pitch. They have, as I said before, very good wingers, so we have to be ready. Even Pickford with his long balls, his kick is very, very long, so you have to be ready in two, three seconds to defend inside your box. It reminds me a little bit the game we played in Bramford. It's not the same, but this kind of game where you feel you are good and then you are defending even a long free kick or you have to be very good inside your box. Tomorrow, Everton away, a club that is with us in the standings and I think it's a good chance. We'll see tomorrow, won't we? It's up to Everton to make sure that they get their first home win of the season and go into this international break on a positive note. We cannot simply can't lose five home games on the run. Good win tomorrow and it'll make us all feel better for the next couple of weeks before the Maisie side. That's it for us. Give the video a thumbs up.
