Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite is expected to consider his future with the Toffees amid concerns over his future with England, a report has revealed.
Branthwaite was handed his international debut by Gareth Southgate back in June but was left out of Thomas Tuchel's first England squad, with the new boss instead opting to hand caps to Aston Villa's Ezri Konsa and Newcastle United's Dan Burn. Liverpool youngster Jarell Quansah also made the cut alongside recent mainstays Levi Colwill and Marc Guehi.
Fearful that remaining with an Everton side struggling towards the bottom of the Premier League could harm his hopes of returning to the England squad, Sky Sports News state Branthwaite will consider his future at the club this summer.
The 22-year-old is enjoying life with Everton and has been open to extending his contract with the Toffees, but his England aspirations are now expected to impact his decision as there are plenty of clubs higher up the Premier League looking to sign him.
Manchester United, who failed with two bids worth up to £50m last summer, remain keen to sign Branthwaite this summer but now face rival interest from Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Real Madrid are also believed to be evaluating a move for Branthwaite, who joined Everton during current Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti's tenure.
All those clubs have the spending power to offer higher wages than Everton, who now face an uphill battle to convince Branthwaite he can return to the England squad if he remains on the blue side of Merseyside.
Branthwaite's current contract expires in 2027, although Everton do have the option to extend that by a further 12 months.
The Toffees wanted over £70m to part ways with Branthwaite last summer and, having climbed well away from a relegation battle following David Moyes' return to the club, have no desire to lose their star defender for cheap.
