Everton are set to launch a bid for PSV Eindhoven left-back Jurich Carolina.
Carolina has yet to make his first-team debut for the Eredivisie giants but caught the eye of Blues scouts during his recent outings for the club’s youth set-up.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claim that Ronald Koeman is preparing to lure the 18-year-old to Goodison Park in a bid to provide competition for Leighton Baines.
Hopes of Everton landing Carolina, who can also operate at centre-back, have been boosted by his current PSV contract expiring in 18 months time.
The planned move for the versatile defender could potentially spell an end to either Brendan Galloway or Bryan Oviedo’s respective Goodison careers.
