The Toffees were hit with a second Premier League charge on Monday and their unhealthy accounts could force the sale of sought-after defender Jarrad Branthwaite in the summer. A towering 6ft 5in centre-back, Branthwaite's effectiveness at Premier League level has caught the eye of numerous top clubs. United, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Real Madrid are all keeping track of the defender, according to HITC. His sale would therefore be an effective way of restoring the Toffees' financial health. The final punishment for Everton and Forest will be finalised by June 1 at the latest.
