Everton are reportedly aiming to acquire 24-year-old Danish forward Jesper Lindstrom from Serie A’s Napoli this summer. According to Tutto Napoli, Napoli is prepared to loan Lindstrom to Everton with an option to buy, though personal terms have yet to be finalized.
Typically, Napoli prefers loan agreements with a mandatory purchase clause, but they are making an exception for Everton. The clubs have reached a preliminary agreement, and now it hinges on whether Everton can settle personal terms with Lindstrom.
Last season, Lindstrom struggled for consistent playing time at Napoli, and a move could help him regain form and confidence. Everton, needing a quality winger since Anthony Gordon’s departure, hopes the Danish international can return to his best.
Lindstrom excelled in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt but has yet to find his footing in Italian football. He aims to revive his career with strong performances in the Premier League. If he impresses at Everton, they might pursue a permanent deal next summer.
Everton stands to benefit from Lindstrom’s arrival as they seek to bolster their squad and avoid relegation battles. The Premier League club expects the 24-year-old to adapt swiftly to English football. His technical skills and versatility, including the ability to play as an attacking midfielder, make him a valuable asset.
Lindstrom is expected to contribute goals and assists, potentially forming a strong partnership with Dominic Calvert-Lewin. A successful stint with Everton could also pave the way for a future move to a larger club.
