A sensational season for James Garner at Everton has caught the eye of AC Milan, who are making a surprise move to secure his services.
In a thrilling 1-0 victory over Aston Villa, Garner showcased his talent, keeping Everton's hopes for European football alive. With Jack Grealish's long-term injury, the pressure is on Garner to step up and create chances, while maintaining his solid midfield presence.
Fortunately, Everton's squad depth is bolstered by the returns of Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, ensuring manager David Moyes has options to keep his star-studded team competitive.
But here's where it gets controversial...
Despite AC Milan's interest, Garner has agreed to a long-term contract with Everton. Moyes has always been adamant about keeping him, and it seems his persistence has paid off. According to reliable sources, Garner has put pen to paper on an improved deal at the iconic Hill Dickinson Stadium.
AC Milan's interest, however, has been rebuffed, along with other clubs who were keen on the former Manchester United player.
Garner's performances this season have been nothing short of exceptional. His all-round midfield prowess has been on full display, as evidenced by his standout game against Nottingham Forest. He scored, assisted, and dominated defensively, winning tackles and duels with ease.
His versatility and ability to excel in all areas of the pitch are rare, even in the competitive Premier League.
Thomas Tuchel, who was in attendance for Everton's win over Villa, might just be considering Garner for the upcoming World Cup. With the tournament approaching, Garner's consistent performances could see him in contention for a place in the North American squad.
As Everton face Leeds in their next Premier League fixture, Garner's focus remains on delivering consistent results. However, with his contract secured and the World Cup on the horizon, it's an exciting time for the talented midfielder.
