Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is loaned to PSV Eindhoven for the 2022-23 season.
The 20-year-old was left at home when Everton departed on their pre-season tour of America earlier this week, as the club wanted to arrange a temporary move from Goodison Park for him.
He will team up with Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was in charge of the first team of the Eredivisie in March this year.

The English central defender made just four Premier League starts last season when Frank Lampard opted for experience in pursuit of survival at the highest level.
Middlesbrough, Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Blackpool, Cardiff and Sunderland would all be happy to loan the youngster – before PSV struck a deal on Sunday afternoon.
Branthwaite scored one goal for the club, who played against Chelsea in December on his first Premier League start of last season.
He was also sent off last season in May, where he received his marching orders just 18 minutes into Everton’s 3-2 defeat to Brentford at Goodison Park when he dragged down Ivan Toney, who went on for goal.

The defender spent the second half of the 2020-21 season on loan in the Championship with Blackburn Rovers, but struggled to break through to the Toffees first-team under Frank Lampard.
The youngster has a contract until the summer of 2023 and Everton now want him to continue in his career.
Branthwaite signed for Everton from Carlisle United in January 2020 at the age of 17, having made 14 first-team appearances for the League Two club.
