Everton submit concrete offer – Working for arrival before World Cup

Everton have made an attempt to bring PSV Eindhoven’s Esmir Bajraktarević to the Premier League in the summer. 

Earlier this month, Sport Witness covered claims from Bosnia that Everton regularly scouted him in action for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Toffees have also followed the 21-year-old while with his club.

The same source stated he would consider the transfer if David Moyes’ side were to submit an offer.

Esmir Bajraktarević joined the Eredivisie side from New England Revolution in January 2025 and played 31 minutes from four matches in the second half of last season.

The winger’s situation has improved a lot this season as he played 1,254 minutes, scoring seven goals and contributing five assists.

His Eredivisie stats this season are as follows:

• Appearances: 26
• Starts: 6
• Total minutes: 900
• Minutes per game: 35
• Goals: 4
• Assists: 4
• Expected Goals: 1.79
• Expected Assists: 2.61
• Big chances created: 5

Everton continue to scout

Bosnia’s SportSport now report the Merseyside club are still following the America-born Bosnia and Herzegovina international.

In fact, Everton scouts watched him live in PSV Eindhoven’s 6-1 win over PEC Zwolle
last Thursday. He starred, scoring two goals and contributing three assists in this match.

Esmir Bajraktarević’s performance against PEC Zwolle immediately convinced the Toffees that he’s the player they want in the summer. Therefore, ‘Everton go full throttle’ and submitted a ‘concrete offer’ to the Dutch club.

SportSport are not aware of the fee proposed by David Moyes’ side, who are now awaiting PSV’s response. Everton seem convinced he can further improve his game with a move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton are aware his price could rise if he impresses at the World Cup and it would also attract more clubs. AFC Bournemouth have shown interest in the past while recent claims elsewhere named RB Leipzig.
