Jarrad Branthwaite has revealed he is still "absolutely open" to staying at PSV Eindhoven despite Ruud van Nistelrooy’s shock exit from the club.
The Everton defender spent the season on loan at the Dutch giants after agreeing to join the club last summer. Branthwaite arrived at the Philips Stadion having made 13 first-team appearances for the Blues, scoring once.
However, Branthwaite’s Goodison Park future has been up in the air for most of the season, with a number of figures at PSV revealing they would love to sign the centre-back permanently this summer. The 20-year-old has earned promising reviews for his performances in the Netherlands and has totted up 36 matches for PSV in all competitions this season.
