Everton have made their move to sign PSV Eindhoven attacker Esmir Bajraktarevic ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Toffees are wasting no time getting a deal over the line for the 21-year-old winger who has caught the attention of many after his performances for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the recent World Cup play-offs.
Bajraktarevic is being eyed at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with scouts from the Blues concluding that he’s the right profile to bolster their squad.
The Merseyside outfit have already made an offer for the 14-cap Bosnia and Herzegovina international and his potential arrival may spell bad news for certain players.
David Moyes hasn’t shown any faith in Tyler Dibling and additions up front in the summer may spell the end for the former Southampton prospect in L3.

Tyler Dibling staring at Everton abyss under David Moyes
There were high hopes from Dibling when the Toffees paid £35million to sign him from Southampton last summer.
In the 20-year-old’s opening few appearances for the Blues, it was clear that he needed to settle in at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Dibling’s Premier League record this season, as per Sofascore
Moyes definitely needs to show patience with the talented youngster, but the Scottish manager seems reluctant to give him regular opportunities.
With the prospect of consistent game time at the Merseyside outfit unlikely, the winger should definitely be looking at furthering his development elsewhere for the time being.
Esmir Bajraktarevic can be instant hit at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Bajraktarevic has shown glimpses of his talent this season, scoring four goals and providing four assists in 26 league matches for PSV.
It’s important to note that the young winger has started in just six of those Eredivisie games for the Dutch side and has still managed to post decent numbers, creating five big chances and completing 0.7 dribbles per game on average, as per Sofascore.
The left-footed Bosnian attacker is someone who can have a much-needed impact off the bench if he moves to Everton.
With Iliman Ndiaye cementing his place on the right-wing and Jack Grealish hopefully returning to the Merseyside outfit in the summer, Bajraktarevic could potentially be the backup option under Moyes’ belt to make a difference in tight matches.
