“Excess of £20m” – Pundit makes Jacob Greaves prediction as Ipswich Town and Everton circle

Carlton Palmer thinks Everton is still the favorite to capture Jacob Greaves of Hull City this summer,

even with interest from Ipswich Town.

The Tractor Boys are reportedly thinking about making a move for the center back

before they return to the Premier League, according to The Telegraph.

After the Suffolk team finished second in the Championship and were promoted to the top level,

Kieran McKenna is trying to bolster his team.

Greaves’s performances for Hull last season won him a lot of praise and helped the squad finish seventh in the standings.

This has cast doubt on the defender’s future at the MKM Stadium as news surface that West Ham and Everton are also interested in signing him.

and the transfer scenario may have an impact on Greaves’ future.

In addition, he has estimated that the 23-year-old’s transfer fee might range from £20 to £25 million.

Palmer told Football League World, “As you can imagine, having been promoted to the Premier League,

Ipswich Town have been linked with a whole host of players.”

It makes sense that they wish to bolster their team.

Jacob Greaves, the center defender for Hull City, is one of the players they have been associated with.

Everton has also expressed interest in him.

Everton is holding out for as much as £90 million and is searching for a replacement as they wait to see what happens with Branthwaite.

Man United has made an offer that is thought to be in the neighborhood of £35 million.

“They won’t likely receive nearly the £90 million they are want for Branthwaite, but Jacob Greaves has been a standout player for Hull.

“Hull has stated that he is essential to their goals and will continue to work toward advancement,

but the chairman has stated that he will not obstruct him if he wants to go on.

“This one will be interesting to watch; if Everton sells Branthwaite, I’ll be very surprised to see if Jacob is still at Hull in preseason.

I think he’s headed to the Premier League, and he has a bright future ahead of him.”

Having progressed through Hull’s academy system,

Greaves has established himself as an essential member of the first team roster.

Last season, he made 43 appearances in the Championship,

just missing out on a play-off spot for Liam Rosenior’s team.

Although the defender is under contract with the Tigers through the summer of 2026,

he is currently drawing interest from the Premier League.

This offers the Yorkshire team some negotiating power should Premier League teams want to make an offer for him.

Everton is expected to go for Greaves if Branthwaite is sold,

although since Man United’s approach for him was turned down earlier this month, no progress has been made in that direction.

The longer that goes on, the more likely it is that Ipswich will sign the player.

a sum of about £20 million will be too much for a recently promoted team like Ipswich.

If signed, he would undoubtedly increase the Tractor Boys’ defensive options,

but because of his value to the team, Hull will want to maximize the proceeds from any possible sale.
