PSV Eindhoven 'keen on permanent deal' for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite

PSV Eindhoven reportedly remain keen on a permanent deal for Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite.

The youngster is on loan at the Dutch giants from Everton and has impressed in a run of regular starts for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side in recent months. As well as a permanent move to PSV, Manchester United, Liverpool and Roma were all linked with Branthwaite during the January transfer window.

And now according to Dutch outlet Voetbal Primeur, PSV remained hopeful of a permanent deal for the former Carlisle United man during the summer. The report comes just weeks after their manager Van Nistelrooy urged his club to sign Branthwaite 'very quickly'.

“I told the previous technical director to sign Jarrad very quickly,” he told Dutch publication Voetbal International. “And I say it now to the current one!

“Jarrad has really fought his way into the team. He got his chance and took it. I am satisfied. I see Jarrad as a key player, and that’s how we see him internally.

“We have a lot of young talent, including (Johan) Bakayoko, (Xavi) Simons, Branthwaite and (Ismael) Saibari. Those are guys for the future.

“It’s true that we may have competition in our attempts to keep Jarrad longer. Well, let him develop first. What is extremely important is that he is having a great time at PSV. That is a basic condition if we want to have a chance at all.”
