AliousEverton is nearing an agreement to sign Jesper Lindstrom from Napoli.
The club has been interested in the 24-year-old attacking midfielder for some time, and negotiations are progressing.
The Toffees are aiming to secure Lindstrom on a season-long loan, which would make him their fourth summer acquisition if successful.
Strengthening Sean Dyche’s wide attacking options has been a priority, with the club previously pursuing Yankuba Minteh and Jaden Philogene, both of whom moved elsewhere.
Everton intensified their interest in Lindstrom as a result of these missed opportunities and are optimistic about finalizing a deal soon.
Despite joining Napoli just last summer, Lindstrom has been made available after a challenging first season in Serie A, where he failed to score or assist in league play.
However, his limited opportunities coincided with Napoli’s poor title defense.
Prior to his move to Italy, Lindstrom was a key player for Eintracht Frankfurt, featuring in their Europa League-winning final two years ago.
If the deal proceeds as expected, Lindstrom would join Everton’s other summer signings: Tim Iroegbunam and Iliman Ndiaye on permanent deals, and Jack Harrison on loan from Leeds United.
