Cardiff City are among the potential suitors for Everton centre-halves Tyias Browning and Brendan Galloway as Roberto Martinez looks to send duo out on loan next season, according to reports.

Both players will become full-time members of the Blues' first-team in August, but the former Swansea City boss believes both would benefit from a spell in the Championship.

The Bluebirds have forged links with the Merseyside club, having received Conor McAleny on loan in January. However, Everton also have links with Brentford, while Bolton Wanderers are also in the running.

Martinez is keen for the academy products to get some game time under their belts after Browning was recalled from Wigan after just two games last season.

The 21-year-old was in a number of matchday squads at Goodison Park last season and came off the bench to make his debut in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.



Everton FC plan to send young defender Tyias Browning out on loan to a Championship club next season.

The 21-year-old will become a full-time member of the Blues’ first-team set up come August but manager Roberto Martinez wants Browning to have a short spell away from Goodison.

Martinez is keen for the Academy graduate to get around 20 games under his belt in the second tier of English football as Everton prepare him for the senior stage.

Browning was sent to Wigan Athletic in January last year but only made two appearances before being recalled.

The Blues have forged links with Brentford and Cardiff City this season having sent Chris Long and Conor McAleny, respectively, on loan, there while Bolton Wanderers would also be a potential suitor for the talented defender.

Browning, who signed a new three year deal in August, made his first-team debut as a late substitute in the derby at Anfield in September before playing against Manchester United and Krasnodar before Christmas.

The right-footed centre-half has been involved in several matchday squads this season and was on the bench for two Europa League games away from home.

Martinez has high hopes for Browning and is understood to be thrilled with his attitude and the youngster said he will return to pre-season training early to ensure he is fully fit for Everton’s trip to Singapore in July.

The Everton boss is also likely to send Brendan Galloway, who will join Browning in the first-team squad next term, out on loan next term.

That link you mean

These would be two decent additions I reckon. However, it does seem to mean that we're preparing for a loss on the defensive side of things... preparing for Manga's departure? Or will Watford be signing Connolly? Or both?!

This worries me as I wouldnt want loan players in defence. We need to create a solid and consistent defence then experience in midfield and up front.

If we are forming a relationship like Watford did with Udinese, then we couldnt pick a better club.

Get as many Toffees on board as possible

Loanees would give more options, especially with crowded fixtures. Early on in the season, there's mid-week and Saturday games, together with cup tournaments. Everton players will be more than upto the task and can be given weekly game time. Makes sense to me.

Not sure either of these would get much of a look in..Bruno, Turner, Morrison, Connelly all decent players at this level...unless 1 or more are on their way of course!!!!!!

Both quality defender, better than we have now, bar maybe Bruno

Hibs are always linked with a lot of Everton players because of Stubbs. Ty Is supposedly a very good defender. Too good to play for Hibs anyway! Would be Intrested to see how he gets on!
