Phillip: It’s a pleasure to be here.PSV is a club close to my heart, and I’m always interested to see the direction they’re taking.
Interviewer: Absolutely.There’s been a lot of buzz around Esmir Bajraktarevic. At 19 years old, he’s already shown immense potential on the international stage for Bosnia. do you see him as a potential replacement for Hirving Lozano, who was such a crucial attacking force for PSV?
Phillip: Definitely. lozano was a special talent, there’s no doubt whatsoever about it. He had that blistering pace and the ability to change a game in an instant. Bajraktarevic possesses a different skillset,perhaps more focused on technical ability and creativity.

Do you think Bajraktarevic will be thrown straight into the starting lineup, or will he need time to adjust to the Eredivisie?

But I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start a few games and make an impact sooner rather than later. He’s a confident young player, and he has the talent to succeed at this level.
