Elanga’s loan deal with PSV is being considered

Despite making the first team under Ralf Rangnick, the 20-year-old has only started seven games this season under Erik ten Hag.

Elanga’s lack of playing time had reportedly been driving him crazy, and the Swedish player had been extensively linked with a loan transfer to Everton.

Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is open to the notion of sending the young United star to PSV on loan while Ten Hag is still contemplating whether he is in his plans for him.

With players like Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Antony, Anthony Martial, and even 18-year-old Alejandro Garnacho ahead of him in the pecking order, Elanga has mostly been deployed as a late replacement.

Van Nistelrooy has said unequivocally that he plans to add to his roster in the January transfer window.

He remarked, “Of course I can’t identify names, but we are working hard on it, since it is vital,” before to PSV’s match against Go Ahead Eagles.

Jarrad Branthwaite, a 20-year-old Everton defender who has excelled while on loan at PSV this year, has also received a bid from the Dutch club.
