According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are interested in a move for Everton's 24-year-old English midfielder, James Garner. The future of midfielder Garner is uncertain at Everton as the player is approaching the end of his contract. He is set to become a free agent next summer, and Premier League clubs are considering the opportunity to sign him next year.

Everton have an option to extend his contract by another year. Everton do not want Garner to leave and are ready to extend his contract to keep him at the club. Garner joined Everton in September 2022, has been capped by England at the U21 level, and has made 11 Premier League appearances this season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €22.00m. Other clubs linked with a move for him include Newcastle United and Manchester United.
