Everton have finalized their third summer signing with Danish winger Jesper Lindstrom joining the squad.
Everton have secured their third summer signing with Danish winger Jesper Lindstrom joining on a season-long loan from Napoli, with an option to buy.
The 24-year-old arrives at Goodison Park following another attacking addition, Iliman Ndiaye. His arrival is a welcome development for Everton, especially after the recent collapse of The Friedkin Group’s proposed takeover.
While Everton’s short-term financial situation seems stable, there may be concerns about overspending. Nevertheless, the club is excited about Lindstrom’s potential impact.
Despite a disappointing 2023/24 season with Napoli, where he failed to contribute any goals, Lindstrom brings a versatile skill set that Everton finds valuable. According to The Athletic, his ability to play various roles behind the striker is seen as a crucial asset, especially for a squad with limited depth.
Sean Dyche, who had a positive discussion with Lindstrom before the signing, is supportive of the move. With Everton’s squad described as ‘threadbare,’ Lindstrom’s versatility could prove beneficial, offering flexibility and depth, particularly if injuries arise. Although his past numbers might not be thrilling, Lindstrom could emerge as a clever addition for Everton.
