Sport nationEverton is set to sign Napoli’s Jesper Lindstrom on a season-long loan, with the winger traveling for a medical ahead of the switch. The Toffees will pay a €3m (£2.5m) loan fee and have a €22m (£18.5m) option to buy included in the deal.
Lindstrom, a confessed Liverpool supporter, failed to make a goal contribution for Napoli but was excellent for former side Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring 14 goals and making 14 assists in 80 appearances. Sean Dyche hopes Lindstrom can get back to his best at Goodison Park.
Everton is also in talks to sign Wilfried Gnonto from Leeds and Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City, while Chelsea midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu is also a target.
The Toffees are looking to bring in defensive reinforcements and have received a boost in their pursuit of Galatasaray center-back Davinson Sanchez, who is open to a Premier League return after leaving Tottenham last summer. Sanchez featured regularly under Mauricio Pochettino but gradually fell down Tottenham’s pecking order and joined Galatasaray on an £8m deal.
Everton has already made a bid of £15m for Sanchez, and now Galatasaray has indicated they are ready to sell the player. Sanchez has looked back to his best in Turkey, making 34 appearances last term, scoring three goals, and helping his team to nine clean sheets.
Everton is also in the market for a new right-back, with Dyche’s only options currently consisting of veteran duo Seamus Coleman and Ashley Young and Nathan Patterson. Patterson has plenty of potential but has struggled to nail down a consistent spot in the Toffees’ starting XI.
Hellas Verona’s Jackson Tchatchoua has been heavily linked with a move to Goodison Park. The 22-year-old is considered one of the most promising full-backs in Serie A and featured 27 times last season, making two assists. Reports from Italy suggest Everton has had a bid of €8m (£6.7m) plus €2m (£1.7m) in add-ons rejected by Hellas Verona, but aren’t far off matching their valuation.
The Serie A side is reportedly looking for a €10m (£8.4m) straight fee for Tchatchoua, so Everton is just £1.7m short of his price tag. It will be interesting to see how this story progresses in the coming days as Dyche is keen to get new players through the door as soon as possible.Everton is set to sign Napoli’s Jesper Lindstrom on a season-long loan, with the winger traveling for a medical ahead of the switch.
