Esmir Bajraktarevic could be on his way to Everton in the summer as the Toffees look to add more quality to their forward line.
The Blues’ attacking areas have been one of the weaker points of David Moyes’ squad, with the manager unable to turn to many of his options off the bench.
Injury to Jack Grealish had forced the Merseyside outfit to sign Tyrique George on loan in the winter window, but the young Englishman has not hit the ground running.
It remains to be seen if the winger is made a permanent Everton player, but as things stand, that does not look too likely.
However, now it appears Bajraktarevic could be an option for Everton in the transfer window, as next season’s plans begin to be drawn up.

What has been said about Everton’s interest in Esmir Bajraktarevic?
According to Bosnian news outlet SportSport, Everton have already sent an offer to PSV for Bajraktarevic.
At the moment, the publication states the details of the bid are “unknown”, but the Toffees are awaiting the response of the Dutch club.

Additionally, Everton scouts were said to be at the Eindhoven club’s most recent game against PEC Zwolle, in which the Bosnian winger stood out among the crowd.
Bajraktarevic scored twice and got two assists in a 6-1 win, taking his season tally to 11 goal contributions across all competitions.
His performance “delighted the scouts of Everton”, according to the report. The right-sided attacker is also set to go to the World Cup with Bosnia, and that makes Everton’s early reported offer quite sensible.
Bajraktarevic could ultimately prove to be a bargain for Everton, and now we will await to see how this saga plays out.
Why Everton are right to move quickly for Esmir Bajraktarevic
If Everton can secure a deal for Bajraktarevic before the World Cup, then that would be extremely smart transfer planning from those at Hill Dickinson.
With the 21-year-old in line to feature at this summer’s tournament, if he is still a PSV player by the conclusion, it could see his price significantly rise.
According to Transfermarkt, the Eredivisie star is currently worth £4.33million. However, if he has a strong campaign with the nation, that could see his value soar.

Securing the deal early is the right move from Everton, and if reports of an offer are true, hopefully we should see this wrap up over the coming month.
The Toffees need new attackers, and the right wing is certainly an area needing improvement.
