Everton have reportedly rejected a bid from PSV Eindhoven for defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
The 21-year-old is currently spending the season on loan with the Dutch giants but the Blues have no intention of allowing him to depart Goodison Park permanently and have declined an opening offer, according to the Daily Mail.
Branthwaite was signed from Football League outfit Carlisle United in 2020 and spent the second half of the 2020/21 season on loan at Blackburn Rovers - where he made 10 appearances in the Championship.
