Sport nationEverton is closing in on the signing of Jesper Lindstrom from Napoli, according to Fabrizio Romano. The transfer insider revealed that the Toffees are on the verge of agreeing an initial loan deal worth €3million (£2.5million), along with a €22million (£18.5million) option to buy.
Romano confirmed that final details are being sorted between all the relevant parties, and it shouldn’t be long before the deal is struck. Lindstrom is an attacking midfielder who can also play on both wings and has considerable experience at the highest level.
The 24-year-old currently plays for Serie A side Napoli and represents Denmark internationally, with 16 caps under his belt. Although things haven’t worked out for Lindstrom at Napoli, a fresh start could now be on the cards for him.
Should Sean Dyche get the best out of him, he can surely return to the levels he reached at Eintracht Frankfurt, where he had 28 goal contributions from 80 outings. Lindstrom has described his game as follows:
“In general, I like to play up front but can also play on the wings. I’ve got a strong shot on me from distance, and I like to link up play in the penalty area.”
Former Frankfurt colleague Kevin Trapp said of Lindstrom: “He’s an outstanding footballer and has very good technique.”
Everton has been fairly busy in the summer transfer window, with two new signings on board. The Toffees have strengthened their ranks by recruiting Iliman Ndiaye and Tim Iroegbunam, though they have also sold three players, including Amadou Onana.
Now, it looks as though a third signing could be on the way, with Romano announcing “here we go, soon” on Lindstrom. The transfer insider has a reputation for being reliable, and his confirmation of the deal suggests that it’s only a matter of time before Lindstrom joins Everton.
The signing of Lindstrom would be a significant coup for Everton, who are looking to strengthen their squad after a disappointing season. The Danish midfielder has the potential to be a game-changer for the Toffees, and his arrival could be a major boost to their chances of success.
With Lindstrom’s versatility and skill, he could be a valuable asset for Everton, and his experience at the highest level could be invaluable to the team. The fact that he has already played in the Champions League and has international experience could also be a major plus for the Toffees.
Everton fans will be eagerly awaiting the confirmation of the deal, and they will be hoping that Lindstrom can make an immediate impact on the team. With the new season just around the corner, the signing of Lindstrom could be just what the Toffees need to get off to a flying start.
In other news, Sean Dyche wants to bring ‘formidable’ £45m midfielder to Everton, according to reports. The Toffees are looking to strengthen their midfield options, and the signing of a new midfielder could be on the cards.
Everton has already made a bid for Galatasaray center-back Davinson Sanchez, and now the Toffees are looking to bring in a new midfielder to bolster their squad. The signing of Lindstrom could be just the start of a busy transfer window for Everton, and fans will be eagerly awaiting further news on the club’s transfer dealings.
