Jesper Lindstrom pre-agrees full-time Everton contract as multi-million details emerge
Jesper Lindstrom has pre-agreed a permanent move to Everton, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Writing via his personal X account on Friday (26 July), Romano reported that Lindstrom, 24, has completed his loan-to-buy move to Goodison Park.
It is understood that the Blues have the option to pay £18.9million to sign the Denmark midfielder permanently from Napoli next year with him pre-agreeing a contract that runs until the summer of 2029.
Everton have now confirmed the signing of Lindstrom, stating that the deal is a season-long loan with the option to be made permanent next year.
Jesper Lindstrom to become latest new recruit at Everton
Everton have done well to get this deal over the line due to the behind-the-scenes turmoil at Goodison Park.
Evertonians have seen Farhad Moshiri fail to sell up to two parties despite striking deals with them, with Dan Friedkin recently backing out of a move last week.
Clearly, all is not well in the boardroom. However, Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell are cracking on as normal and have landed what looks to be quite a solid addition to the team.
Lindstrom only joined Napoli last year and didn't have the best of times in Italy. However, they signed him for a reason and that's because he performed so well with Frankfurt in Germany.
The Bundesliga is a lot more similar to the Premier League than Serie A, so you would hope that the attacking midfielder would be better suited to playing for the Blues of Merseyside instead of the Gli Azzurri of Naples.
