Everton will listen to January offers for defender

Everton will reportedly listen to offers for defender Jake O'Brien during the January transfer window.

O'Brien was linked with a move away from the Hill Dickinson Stadium during the summer but a transfer failed to materialise.

The likes of Leeds United and Crystal Palace were both mooted as destinations for the 25-year-old and they could both revisit a potential deal.

Football Insider have reported that the club are open to a sale when the window reopens on New Year's Day.

O'Brien joined Everton from Ligue 1 side Lyon ahead of the 2024/25 season and he has made 67 appearances for the club.

The Republic of Ireland international is primarily a centre-back but he has been used as a makeshift right-back on various occasions.

However, he has found himself down the pecking order for David Moyes' side this season and he has only played 16 minutes in the Premier League.

For now, O'Brien will be looking to force his way back into the starting line-up but a January move would make sense for both parties if he is unable to do so.
