Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite's progress has been a huge boon for the club this season.
The Toffees are not enjoying the best of starts to the campaign, as they once again flirt with relegation.
However, Branthwaite returning from a loan spell at PSV Eindhoven and starring in the Premier League is impressing the club's coaches and decision makers.
Per The Athletic, the 21-year-old is now in line for a financial reward for his great form.
He will get a new deal and a bumper pay rise to reflect his growing importance to Sean Dyche.
Branthwaite is now a regular alongside James Tarkowski in central defense for the ex-Burnley coach.
