Friday Morning Done Deal: Everton reach agreement with club to sign player who plays just like Thomas Muller to bring stability to the modified and ignite Evertons attack(Read full story in the comment section)

Everton is edging closer to signing Napoli attacker Jesper Lindstrom on loan, with an option for a permanent deal. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Toffees are “proceeding quickly” in negotiations, and an agreement between the clubs is now “one step away.” Lindstrom, 24, who plays just like Thomas Muller is set to leave Napoli after a disappointing spell, having failed to score or assist in 29 appearances.

The Danish international, who can play in attacking midfield and on the wing, could be a valuable addition to Sean Dyche’s squad. Lindstrom’s versatility and ability to play in several areas across the pitch make him an attractive prospect for Everton. The Toffees are looking to bolster their attack, and Lindstrom’s potential signing could be a significant boost.

Lindstrom’s career statistics show promise, with 15 goals and 15 assists in 65 appearances for Brondby IF and 14 goals and 14 assists in 80 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt. However, his time at Napoli has been underwhelming, and he is now likely to become the first departure under new Napoli boss Antonio Conte.

Everton has already signed Marseille striker Iliman Ndiaye and Aston Villa midfielder Tim Iroegbunam this summer, and Lindstrom could become their third signing. The Toffees are also interested in signing Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto, according to The Times journalist Paul Joyce.

Gnonto, 20, was a target for Everton last summer, but Leeds rejected their bid. However, with Leeds failing to secure promotion and Gnonto among several players linked with a summer exit, Everton may now have a chance to sign the winger. The Toffees could use the money received from selling Amadou Onana to Aston Villa to pursue a deal for Gnonto.

The potential signings of Lindstrom and Gnonto would be a significant statement of intent from Everton, who are looking to build on last season’s progress under Dyche. With the right additions, the Toffees could be a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League next season.
