“FASTEST TRANSFER EVER: Everton made offer on Tuesday evening – Accepted, details shared, Toffees to get player

Everton FC is closing in on a deal to sign Napoli’s Jesper Lindstrøm, with the Danish attacking midfielder set to travel to England to complete the transfer formalities. According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, Everton made an offer on Tuesday evening that was accepted by Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The deal is reportedly a loan transfer with an option to buy, with Everton paying a €3m loan fee and having the option to make the transfer permanent for €22m. If Everton were to exercise this option, Napoli would recoup the €25m fee they paid to sign Lindstrøm from Eintracht Frankfurt last year.

Lindstrøm’s move to Napoli was seen as a significant signing at the time, but he struggled to make an impact in his debut season in Italy. He played just 587 minutes from 29 games, failing to score a goal or register an assist. Calciomercato has labeled him a “flop,” but it’s worth noting that Napoli had a tumultuous season, with three different managers and a struggle to replicate their title-winning form from the previous year.

Despite his struggles in Italy, Lindstrøm has shown his quality in the past, scoring nine goals and providing four assists in his final season with Eintracht Frankfurt. Everton will be hoping he can recapture that form at Goodison Park.

The deal is seen as a coup for Everton, who have been looking to strengthen their attacking options this summer. Lindstrøm’s versatility and creativity could make him a valuable asset for the Toffees, and his signing could be a significant boost to their squad.

Everton’s offer was accepted on Tuesday evening, and Lindstrøm is expected to travel to England in the next few hours to complete the transfer formalities. The deal is subject to a medical, but it’s expected to be a formality.

The signing of Lindstrøm could be a significant statement of intent from Everton, who are looking to build on their impressive finish to last season. With the addition of the Danish attacking midfielder, the Toffees could have a strong squad capable of challenging for European places.

In other news, Nottingham Forest is reportedly in talks to sign a new player, with negotiations ongoing over the fee and resale percentage. Meanwhile, Brighton has been given a boost in their pursuit of a target, with the player not involved in pre-season training.

Unai Emery has also been spotted in a meeting with a La Liga manager, sparking speculation about a potential transfer. And Southampton has been given a boost in their pursuit of a target, with talks having taken place.

Overall, it’s been a busy few days in the transfer market, with several deals edging closer to completion. Everton’s signing of Lindstrøm could be one of the most significant, and Toffees fans will be excited to see the Danish attacking midfielder in action.
