EVERTON HAVE SIGNED Napoli’s Jesper Lindstrom on a season-long loan, the Premier League club announced on Friday.
The Denmark midfielder moved to the Serie A side before last season, but he is now on his way to Goodison Park, with an option for his move to Merseyside to be made permanent.
The 24-year-old has been capped 16 times by his country, with Lindstrom also winning the Europa League with German side Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.
Lindstrom is Everton manager Sean Dyche’s fourth signing of the pre-season transfer window, joining Tim Iroegbunam, Iliman Ndiaye and Jack Harrison in the Toffees’ squad.
Those arrivals have all happened despite the ongoing uncertainty over Everton’s ownership, with a potential sale to the Friedkin Group called off after the club failed to reach an agreement with the American investors.
Led by US billionaire Dan Friedkin, the group entered a period of exclusivity to negotiate a possible purchase on 21 June.
However, Everton announced last week that no deal had been struck between Friedkin and the club’s majority owner, Farhad Moshiri.
It is the second time this year that Everton have been unable to push through a sale after a deal with Miami-based firm 777 Partners also broke down.
Can only be good in the long run “pardon the pun” How many Ireland players between hull and Everton now?
Stephen Ireland needs to nail down a starting place with Stoke. He was a squad player at Newcastle and Villa and seems to be the same with Stoke this season.
I’ve always been a fan of him as a player but he was carrying a lot of weight when I saw him play a few weeks ago, belly and all. He needs to get in shape and force his way into the Stoke and ireland teams
Pogba and Vidal to United? Hardly. At Juve they are guaranteed title challenges and Champions League football.
Great business by Chelsea there if that goes through. Never heard of buy back clauses, no?
With Hull also buying Jelavic, Long could potentially be leaving West Brom and end up still sitting on the bench at Hull.
I like shane but he is not prolific enough to warrant 40k per week in the PL,or a 6million pound fee!
