Everton tipped to sign Napoli winger Jesper Lindstrom

Everton are poised to make a substantial investment exceeding £25 million in their pursuit of Napoli‘s Jesper Lindstrom, reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport reveal.

Lindstrom, who featured in 29 appearances for Napoli, did not manage to find the net or provide assists during his stint with the Italian club.

Internationally, the Danish player participated in 16 matches, scoring one goal for his national team.

According to La Gazzetta, Lindstrom may seek a move away from Napoli if he risks being overshadowed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the upcoming season, expressing a desire for more playing time at his current club.

Both Everton and Aston Villa, fellow participants in the Premier League, present viable avenues for Lindstrom’s departure from Napoli. The Italian club is reportedly seeking around £25.2 million for the player, who also caught the attention of Liverpool last summer.

With Everton facing a scarcity of options in the wide areas as they prepare for the upcoming season, securing a winger of proven caliber is crucial. Lindstrom appears to be a fitting candidate for this role.

The imminent departure of Amadou Onana, who is set to move to Villa Park, could potentially release nearly £50 million in transfer funds for Everton. Acquiring Lindstrom for approximately half that sum would undoubtedly bolster their squad.

Manager Sean Dyche is keen to reinforce Everton’s lineup ahead of the new campaign, with Lindstrom emerging as a target to strengthen their attacking options.

The Toffees are prepared to invest heavily in Lindstrom’s services, viewing him as a pivotal addition who can enhance their offensive capabilities significantly.

Negotiations between Everton and Napoli are expected to intensify in the coming weeks as the Merseyside club looks to finalize a deal for the Danish winger.

Lindstrom’s potential arrival at Goodison Park would mark a significant step in Everton’s summer transfer strategy, signaling their intent to compete at the highest level in the Premier League.

The funds generated from Onana’s sale provide Everton with a financial edge in negotiations, allowing them to meet Napoli’s valuation of Lindstrom without compromising their transfer budget.

Should Lindstrom opt for a move to Everton, he would join a club eager to leverage his skills and experience to achieve their ambitions in the upcoming season.

As discussions progress, Everton remains optimistic about securing Lindstrom’s signature, confident that his addition will strengthen their squad and bolster their prospects in domestic competitions.
