Everton reportedly plotting to sign Newcastle target

According to reports, Everton want to sign Joe Bryan from Bristol City with Brighton and Newcastle also interested.

The 24-year-old Bryan has been impressive and was named as man of the match for Bristol when they defeated Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup last month and it appears that his performances have not gone unnoticed.

Bryan has been a regular for the City first team this season and has also added four goals from his 31 games in all competitions.

He is a product of the Robins youth development system and has gone on to make 212 appearances for his boyhood club.

Bryan is regarded as one of the best defenders in the Championship and with City chasing Premier League promotion this season, it is however unlikely that he will leave the club this month.

Winning Premier League promotion with his boyhood club would surely be a dream of his.
