Everton loanee Jarrad Branthwaite has discussed his future at Goodison Park after hitting a good run of form during his temporary spell with PSV Eindhoven.
The 20-year-old central defender has been a subject of speculation following his rise in the ranks of Ruud van Nistelrooy's side. Reports have suggested Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United have sent scouts to watch his performances in the Eredivisie.
Roma have also been included in the conversation as interested in his services. The left-footed centre-back has also shown more than his defensive capabilities after scoring three goals in two games after his brace in the KNVB Beker against FC Emmen was followed by a goal in their rout over Groningen.

Former Blues manager Frank Lampard opted to send the defender out on loan in the summer with PSV said to have had a bid rejected by his parent club during the January transfer window. Sean Dyche has since replaced the former England midfielder in the dugout at Goodison Park, during a time when the stock begins to rise for the young defender.
"I am really enjoying myself here, so I would definitely consider a longer stay at PSV," Branthwaite told Voetbal International on his future at the Phillips Stadion.
"We’ll see if it works out, my contract at Everton still runs until 2025. That is still a long time and they will undoubtedly have a plan with me as well.
"But I’m not focusing on it. I’m at PSV now, I want to perform as well as I can and keep developing. We’ll see what happens, it’s something for later this season and not for now."
