Reports suggest that Liverpool is considering a surprising transfer move for James Garner, the impressive midfielder currently playing for Everton. The England international has been a standout performer for the Toffees this season and is expected to represent the national team at the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
Garner’s success has not gone unnoticed, as Liverpool is reportedly keen on acquiring him this summer. The move could mark a rare transfer between Merseyside rivals and would likely generate considerable controversy if completed.
The 25-year-old, who previously played for Manchester United, is also emerging as a target for his former club. Such transitions between Liverpool and United players are uncommon.
Garner’s Impressive Season

According to WhoScored, he boasts the highest rating among Everton players, averaging 7.23/10 for the 2025/26 season.
