The Sheffield United defender starred against Everton earlier in the campaign.
Sheffield United fans are reacting on Twitter to reports linking the Blades defender, John Egan, with Everton.
The Sun on Sunday claimed that Everton are interested in Egan, for whom Sheffield United would demand a significant transfer fee.
The Republic of Ireland centre-back cost the Blades around £4 million at the start of last season, but has blossomed into top-end Premier League performer at Bramall Lane.
Sheffield United’s promising start – which contrasts Everton’s – should give plenty of confidence to those of a red-and-white persuasion that they can hold on to Egan past the January transfer window.
And some of the following responses certainly echo that…
Egan was born and raised in Cork but began his professional career at Sunderland.
The recently-turned 27-year-old, who starred in Sheffield United’s 2-0 win against Everton earlier in the campaign, also had spells with Gillingham and Brentford before signing for the Blades.
