Paul Robinson believes Everton could sell Tottenham target James Garner for £30m
Former Tottenham and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson delved into the potential sale of Everton midfielder James Garner, shedding light on the club’s financial landscape and the ramifications of such a move. Garner’s situation at Everton has garnered attention, with Robinson predicting that the Toffees stand to make a substantial profit from his departure.
Robinson’s analysis certainly underscores the precarious financial position Everton find themselves in. With the club facing continued financial pressure, exacerbated by their potential relegation from the Premier League, offloading key players like Garner, an active target for Tottenham, could become a necessity to alleviate their financial woes.
Garner’s acquisition from Manchester United for £15m in 2022 initially seemed like a shrewd investment by Everton. However, with the club now open to offers for the 22-year-old midfielder, they aim to capitalise on his impressive performances to secure a sizeable transfer fee. Robinson speculated that Garner’s potential sale could fetch Everton double what they paid for him, illustrating the club’s intent to maximize their returns in the transfer market.
Here is what Robinson had to say via Football Insider:
“Bigger teams will come in for their better players, including Garner.”
“With their FFP issues, we know they’re going to have to toe the line.”
“We know that amazing players like Garner are going to be sold, maybe Amadou Onana and Abdoulaye Doucoure too.”
“Garner will be one that teams are looking at because he’s done really well in that midfield.”
“They bought him for £15million and they could probably double that after his performances and get a huge profit.”

The interest from top clubs like Tottenham and Newcastle United further underscores Garner’s value in the market. Robinson pointed out that Garner’s talents have not gone unnoticed, with his consistent performances catching the eye of potential suitors. Despite Everton’s struggles on the pitch, Garner has stood out as a promising talent, attracting attention from clubs looking to bolster their midfield ranks.
Everton’s transfer dealings could certainly be influenced by their league status, with the club potentially facing a mass exodus of players if they are relegated to the Championship. In such a scenario, Garner could become a prime target for bigger clubs seeking to capitalise on Everton’s misfortune.
The Manchester United Academy Graduate has two goals and an assist in 32 appearances across all competitions and is a stonewall in defensive situations as well. He is a strong tackler and is astute at interceptions as well, making him an attractive prospect for Tottenham who might do well with the services of a talented defensive midfielder.
