Everton sealed the signing of Napoli winger Jesper Lindstrom on Friday, Sean Dyche’s third summer addition.
The Danish winger joins Tim Iroegbunam and Illman Ndiaye at Goodison Park. Of course, Jack Harrison has also returned for a second loan spell from Leeds United.
Lindstrom has already expressed his excitement about playing at Goodison Park and has even hinted at experiencing the club’s new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
With the club lacking wingers, the 24-year-old’s arrival was certainly needed as the start of the 2024/25 season approached.

Lindstrom was involved in several Instagram posts on Friday and received a message from Leicester City goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
Furthermore, one of the Dane’s former teammates, Cyril Ngonge, has also reacted to the move. Ngonge, who was signed in January for £16m, wrote: “Big Player.”
Lindstrom will undoubtedly be expected to deliver, considering the glowing reviews left by former teammates.
