PSV Eindhoven loan move would be excellent move for Jarrod Branthwaite
PSV Eindhoven are eyeing a move for Everton defender Jarrod Branthwaite and a switch to the Dutch side would be an excellent move for the 20-year-old.
The Liverpool Echo reported on Tuesday 12 July that the Dutch side are said to have “genuine” interest in Branthwaite but they are still “weighing up their options”.
A move to the Dutch side would see Branthwaite link up with former Everton director of football Marcel Brands.
Branthwaite was left at home as Frank Lampard’s side flew to America on Monday as their preparations for the new Premier League season ramp up.
A move to PSV would be an excellent one for Branthwaite and his development.
Considering his age he has had plenty of experience after coming through the ranks at Carlise United before enjoying a Championship loan spell at Blackburn Rovers.
There have been plenty of success stories of young English players making the move to the continent.
Jadon Sancho and Jude Bellingham are two of the high-profile names that have thrived after moving to the Bundesliga.
English winger Noni Madueke has also enjoyed success at PSV in the 2021/22 season.
It would be an excellent experience for Branthwaite in what is a crucial stage of his career.
The 20-year-old must be playing regular minutes this season and after the arrival of James Tarkowski, it is unlikely that he will get many first-team chances.
The Toffees should certainly look into the idea of sending the former Carlisle United youngster out on loan with Branthwaite likely to be a mainstay at Goodison Park in the years to come.
