Top News: Everton open to offers for Mason Holgate as ‘Serious’ changes mooted

Everton are open to offers for on-loan defender Mason Holgate this summer with a permanent exit expected, according to Liverpool Echo.

Writing on their website (2 May), the news outlet reports that the club are expecting “serious” changes in defence this summer with Jarrad Branthwaite expected to leave amid interest from Manchester United and a major sale mooted before June 30th.

Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey are also entering the final 12 months of their deals but Sean Dyche has shown trust in them during this season but after loan spells at Southampton and Sheffield United this season, Holgate is expected to be allowed to leave permanently in the summer.

Mason Holgate has no future at Everton
This news will come as no surprise to anyone at Goodison Park because Holgate hasn’t had a future at the club for a while now.

He struggled for regular game time under Frank Lampard and Dyche made it abundantly clear that he wasn’t going to play much under him either, especially after his red card at the back end of last season.

A loan move to Southampton was supposed to earn him some suitors from the Championship, but he couldn’t even get regular game time for them before heading to the Blades who were as good as relegated already.

He’s hardly ripped up any trees there either as they returned to the second division at the first time of asking, and he’s proven to anyone that he isn’t a Premier League calibre defender.

It’s in everyone’s best interests that he moves on this summer, with one year remaining on his current deal, and the extra money could be helpful to Everton.
