Everton's search for attacking reinforcements has reportedly led them to a promising young talent in the Netherlands. According to reports from Bosnia, the Toffees have been long-term admirers of PSV Eindhoven winger Esmir Bajraktarevic.
Manager David Moyes is keen to add more firepower to his squad at Goodison Park, and the 21-year-old American-born star has emerged as a potential target. Everton's interest isn't new; scouts have been tracking his progress both internationally and at the club level.
Bajraktarevic, who helped Bosnia and Herzegovina qualify for the upcoming World Cup, is described as a technically gifted and skillful player. While primarily a right winger, his versatility allows him to operate as a central striker, adding valuable tactical flexibility for any prospective suitor.
His current season with PSV shows promise, with two goals and two assists in 25 Eredivisie appearances. However, with only five starts this term, he remains a player with immense potential rather than a finished product. This is reflected in his reported valuation of around €5 million, though a strong World Cup could see that price tag rise significantly.
Dubbed 'the Milwaukee Messi,' Bajraktarevic's impressive ball retention and high ceiling have clearly caught the eye. Everton may face competition, with AFC Bournemouth also linked, meaning the Blues must weigh his clear potential against his current role as a squad player for both club and country.
