Jarrad Branthwaite comes from the "end of the bloody world" - but right now he feels on top of it.
You may've seen the viral video of him being interviewed on Dutch television after scoring two goals in arguably the highlight of his loan spell with PSV Eindhoven, as a reporter inadvertently pokes fun at his home city club, Carlisle United, for being so far north in England.
Now, three years after joining Premier League stalwarts Everton aged 17, the highly-rated defender is being linked with a big-money move to host of European giants. Manchester United, Liverpool and Jose Mourinho's Roma have all been tipped to buy Branthwaite this summer following a run of 15 starts for PSV since the World Cup break; thriving as a ball-playing centre-back under the legendary Ruud van Nistelrooy, who'd also like to sign him.
