Everton are expected to listen to offers for Jake O’Brien, with the defender attracting interest from clubs in England and Europe ahead of next week’s transfer deadline.The Republic of Ireland international, 25, spent much of last season as a makeshift right-back but is keen to be a regular starter in his preferred central defensive role, something Everton are unable to guarantee at this stage, and would be open to a move that provides this. The expectation from sources briefed on the situation, speaking anonymously to protect relationships, is that the Merseyside club will now be open to offers for his services.O’Brien was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 2-0 victory over former side Crystal Palace, with captain James Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite starting as the central pairing and the versatile Merlin Rohl filling in on the right.He is the subject of interest from clubs in England, Italy and France ahead of next Tuesday’s deadline. A departure would leave Everton with just three senior options, the other being Michael Keane, and almost certainly needing to strengthen in central defence. They remain on the lookout for a new right-back and have shown interest in Palace’s Daniel Munoz and Fulham’s Timothy Castagne, among others.Prime Minister arrives for Everton vs. PalacePatrick BoylandEverton are also anticipating offers for striker Beto, who is on the radar of clubs in Italy.
