Everton are reportedly hoping to sign 24-year-old Danish attacker Jesper Lindstrom from Serie A club Napoli this summer.
According to a report from Tutto Napoli, Napoli have chosen to allow 24-year-old Danish attacker Jesper Lindstrom to leave on loan with an option to buy, joining Everton this summer. However, an agreement on personal terms remains.
Usually, the Serie A giants prefer loan deals with an obligation to buy.But they have decided to make an exception for Everton here. The two clubs have reached an agreement, and it will be interesting to see if Everton can secure an agreement with the player now.
The 24-year-old struggled for regular game time at Napoli last season, and the summer move could be ideal for him. He will look to regain his form and confidence at Everton. The Toffees have needed a quality winger since the departure of Anthony Gordon, and they will hope that the Denmark international can get back to his best.
Lindstrom was outstanding in the Bundesliga for Eintracht Frankfurt. But he has never quite managed to get going in Italian football. He will hope to get his career back on track with impressive performances in the Premier League now. If he manages to impress at Everton, the Toffees could look to sign him permanently next summer.
Everton would benefit from Lindstrom arrival
Everton will need quality players at their disposal if they want to do well next year. They have been fighting the relegation battle in recent years, and a club of their stature is expected to do better. Lindstrom should prove to be a quality acquisition for them for a very reasonable outlet.
The Premier League side will hope the 24-year-old can adapt to English football quickly and hit the ground running if the two parties agree personal terms. The technically-gifted attacker is versatile enough to operate as the attaching midfielder as well. His ability to slot into multiple roles in the final third could make him an handy option.
The 24-year-old will chip in with goals and assists as well. It remains to be seen whether he can form a quality partnership with players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin. A move to the Premier League will be an interesting opportunity for Lindstrom, and a successful spell with Everton could help him join a bigger club in the future.
