Everton Have Put A Formal Bid For This 21-Year-Old: Does He Solve The Attacking Problem?
Everton have put a formal bid on the table for PSV Eindhovenās 21-year-old winger Esmir BajraktareviÄ. The Toffees are clearly trying to get the deal done before this summerās World Cup makes his price tag skyrocket. Bosnian outlet SportSport broke the news, claiming Everton scouts were in the stands for PSVās 6-1 thrashing of PEC Zwolle.
BajraktareviÄ ran the show that day with two goals and two assists. That one game was enough to convince the club heās the right man, leading them to send over a firm offer. While the exact fee isnāt known yet, PSV havenāt given their answer.
BajraktareviÄ grew up in the US but plays for Bosnia. He even picked up the nickname āthe Milwaukee Messiā during his time with the New England Revolution in MLS. He moved to PSV in January 2025 and, after a quiet start, has really found his feet this season with seven goals and five assists.
Heās already a hero back home, too, after tucking away the winning penalty against Italy to qualify Bosnia for the World Cup. Transfermarkt puts his value at ā¬5m, but PSV will definitely want a lot more than that. With Bournemouth, , and also keeping tabs on him, Everton know they have to move fast.
Esmir BajraktareviÄ is a 21-year-old winger.
Everton is looking to solve their attacking problems and believes BajraktareviÄ can help, especially before the World Cup raises his price.
In that match, BajraktareviÄ scored two goals and provided two assists.

To be honest, he probably only solves part of the puzzle. Everton desperately need someone better than Dwight McNeil on the right wing. McNeil hasnāt scored a single goal and has only one assist in 20 league games this year, which is a pretty poor record that leaves David Moyes with almost no spark out wide. BajraktareviÄ is the right profile because heās direct, left-footed, and likes to cut in from the right to create chances.
There are still some question marks, though. Heās only started five league games this season, which suggests the PSV coaches might not think heās ready to be a guaranteed starter every week. Playing 35 minutes a game is fine for an impact sub, but the Premier League is a much tougher, more physical grind. His crossing accuracy is also sitting at 24%, and while he completes 45% of his dribbles, doing that in the Eredivisie is much easier than doing it against Premier League defenders.
Even so, if Everton can sign a 21-year-old for a reasonable price before he shines at the World Cup, itās a smart move. PSV paid ā¬3m for him and will want a profit, so something between ā¬10m and ā¬15m seems about right. Everton shouldnāt wait around; this chance wonāt last forever.
