Everton supporters were forewarned that this summer would be spent rebuilding after a large number of departures were predicted.
Amadou Onana, Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin were all targeted as sacrifice transfers; however, only the latter has left, and even that move seems to have been orchestrated by Sean Dyche.
Having already signed three new players, Kevin Thelwell can now go forward with his other targets, boosted by the enormous amount obtained from Onana’s move to Aston Villa.
But this one would undoubtedly be the best of the rest.
Everton is about to sign a deal with Jesper Lindstrom.
After several rumors that Everton is interested in Jesper Lindstrom, the most recent one, which also originates from Italy, is published by the well-known daily La Gazzetta dello Sport.
This outlet has provided expert commentary on this story on a few occasions, but this most recent one appears to be the most definitive so far, indicating that a deal is almost finalized.
The report first states that the midfielder has formally bid his Napoli teammates farewell before describing the player’s level of agreement with the Toffees.
It says this: “In addition, after the final training session yesterday in Trentino, another clue surfaced.”
After gathering his teammates, Jesper concluded. They greeted him warmly and gave him hugs as a token of appreciation for his contributions. The fact that he scored the first goal in the Napoli uniform to start the most recent friendly against Mantua did not alter the outcome.
“Lindstrom and Everton anticipated signing the new contract shortly.”
Who is Jesper Lindstrom, the Everton transfer target?
The 24-year-old offensive midfielder Lindstrom began his career with Brondby and has had a great career thus far.
After establishing himself in his native nation and having a memorable time in Denmark, the Bundesliga quickly reached out to him, and he joined Eintracht Frankfurt.
There, he effortlessly transferred his skills to the German game, turning into a pillar for a team that would go on to win the Europa League in 2022. Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig called him a “advanced playmaker” with excellent “passing, vision, creativity,” and more.
As he gained prominence and became a more skilled player, his best season occurred in his last Bundesliga campaign, when he scored seven goals and provided four assists to secure a transfer to Serie A winners Napoli.
But his career has stagnated under a constantly shifting leadership throughout the most recent campaign, for some reason devoid of starts. It is now his responsibility to spark things back at Everton in order to justify their £21 million purchase.
